Come Walk with Us! - Join other nature and bird nerds on a local bird walk to see if we can find birds around natural areas in Stevens Point.  

​​

Details:

Most walks start at 7:30AM, but times may vary depending on season or location. We normally wait about 5 extra minutes before beginning the walk before birding for anyone running a little late. Duration and distance of each walk vary depending on season and relevant weather conditions. During spring we may be out for 4-5 hours and walk up to 3 miles, in winter outings may be point counts via car caravan and may only be out for an hour and change. Each walk description will go over what to expect. Walks may be cancelled due to inclement weather - heavy rain, subzero temperatures, or other forms of severe weather would warrant cancellation. Check either the Portage County Birding or SP Nature Wander Pages for updates.

​

Walks are free and open to anyone interested. No pre-registration required to attend, just simply show up to the rendezvous point listed for each week at 7:30AM. Hope to see you there!

What to bring:

• Binoculars
