The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is a massive community science project conducted every February. Anyone can count the birds in their backyard or local park, and the data collected helps assess bird populations worldwide. Bring your flock to this casual bird hike and contribute to this global project.

Pre-registration required for adults and children alike. Not a drop-off program; adult participation required. BYO binoculars or borrow a pair from us. Expect to cover 2 miles on natural surface trails with easy/moderate terrain.
