Description
Birding is popular in winter because they can be seen more easily. Don’t believe it? Come, see for yourself! Join Mambourg Park in the nature center anytime between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. for hot drinks and a light breakfast. Bring your own binoculars, if desired. They will have a few to borrow. Watch birds and other animals from the observation area inside the nature center. For those who want to venture outside for more birding, trail maps are on hand. All ages welcome. Meet in the nature center. Please do not bring pets to this program. Bring your own drinking water. Potable water is not available at this location.
Trail conditions will vary based on weather; be prepared with appropriate footwear to hike in muddy or slippery conditions. The Oak Trail is about one mile long, includes a set of steps and a footbridge, and may be considered easy-to-moderate. Pets are not allowed on Oak Trail nor inside the nature center. The Hickory Trail is about one-and-a-half miles long, includes footbridges, and may be considered easy-to-moderate. Pets are welcome on Hickory Trail. They must be under control at all times and on a leash no longer than 6’. For the health and safety of all, pick up and properly dispose of pets’ waste.
