BIRD WALKS:

Each Spring The Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland conducts a series of Sunday morning bird walks in cooperation with The Cleveland Museum of Natural History, the Cleveland, Geauga and Lake County parks systems, and the Holden Arboretum. Walks are held at various locations and are timed to coincide with Spring migrations to provide Greater Clevelanders with an exciting opportunity to observe the many birds that pass through our area en route to summer breeding grounds or which nest here. Walks are led by expert volunteers and are open to all without charge. A schedule for the bird walks is published each year in The House Wren.

FIELD TRIPS:

Members and guests may participate in our field trips to places of natural and environmental interest. Trips are led by capable leaders with expertise in the appropriate natural sciences.

Check The House Wren or call our office for information on upcoming trips.
