Brownies and Juniors, if you love birds than this is the event for you. Come join your OE team and the interpreters at Lake St Clair Metropark to participate in a 100+ year old community science project!
Officially known as the Christmas Bird Count. This community science project started on Christmas day in 1900 and brings together people from across the globe to conduct bird surveys from December 14th to January 5th every year.
During this program, participants will learn more about the birds in Michigan and how we can protect them in our own back yards. Join in a bird count to tally up who is visiting the park and where they may be headed. Participants will be led on a guided hike using binoculars to spot birds on the trail and afterwards, make a simple bird feeder to take home.
