Birding at the EEC


The Environmental Education Center Naturalists offer a variety of birding programs such as guided walks on our trails, day trips to near-by parks, and overnight trips throughout the year.  Most programs are designed for adults, but specific programs are offered for families and teens too.  All levels of birders are welcome to join the fun!
