One of the best times to hear and see birds is during fall migration. Join Wes Nutgeren, an experienced educator at Dodge Nature Preschool, on a guided bird walk especially for young people. Meet in the shelter next to the Peace Garden parking lot.
Note: Some people park on Lake Harriet Parkway as a free alternative to this pay lot. This event is free and open to the public. People of all ages are welcome, including children accompanied by a parent or caregiver.
Binoculars are not required, but if possible, bring your own!
