Visitor Center

When

Feb. 17, 2024. 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Hike with a ranger on Big Poplar Trail to learn the basics of birding. We will go over identification tips and tricks to figure out what we are seeing and hearing. The winter season brings lots of migratory birds to Virginia, so we will utilize all of our resources. The path is considered moderate, with some roots and elevation changes, less than a mile long. Please wear sturdy shoes and dress for the weather.

Suitable for all ages. Feel free to bring your own binoculars. Please call 804-796-4472 or email Rebecca.whalen@dcr.virginia.gov for more information.
