Going to the Birds
Shenandoah River State Park is going to the birds, or for those who are looking for them anyway.
Where would we be without our volunteers? Shenandoah River State Park would be less one new program. Our newest program “Introduction to Birding” was created by park volunteer Charles Price. Price is currently completing his certification as a Shenandoah Master Naturalist.
Visitors at Shenandoah River State Park can learn more about birding
This fantastic interpretive program begins with a presentation at the park visitor center. Mr. Price uses the numerous taxidermy birds in the exhibit area to teach participants how to identify local birds and determine where particular species are likely to be observed. The lecture is followed by a wagon ride to the River Trail, where Mr. Price leads an observation hike.
Programs at the park helps visitors develop new interests
Come out for some birding at the park
So far, the turnout for this program has been great and we have received positive feedback about it. It is a great program for everyone and there is still an opportunity to join the fun.
The next program will be held on Saturday, November 14th, 2015 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. For more information about this free program, please visit our events page .
Fall is a great time of year to get out and enjoy the outdoors. This program is just one way that is possible. We hope you won't miss out on this opportunity, register soon and we'll see you there.
