Come join COS at Big Marsh for a family-focused bird walk! This walk welcomes families of all stripes who are looking for a low-stress, casual birding experience. While we'll try to find as many birds as possible, the walk will be a great opportunity to socialize with other families who are into birds and nature. The new environmental center is a great stop to learn a bit more about Big Marsh as well as take care of any bathroom/diaper-changing needs. The walk will be on stroller friendly surfaces and conclude near the bike course where we'll hang out for a little while and let folks run around (bring those scooters and bikes!) Binoculars will be available for those who don't have them. Feel free to be snacks and beverages!

Leaders: Carl Giometti and Chris Holden
