SAS Field Trip: Early Spring at the Bufferlands

Registration is required for this trip, and it will be limited to 15 participants. Please email Chris to register.

Field Trip Leader: Chris Conard

We will look for a nice combination of Neotropical migrants, breeding birds, and lingering winter species. If conditions are right, there could be good shorebirding as well. The SacSewer Bufferlands provide an open space buffer of more than 2,000 acres between the EchoWater facility and the community. A wealth of habitat has been preserved and enhanced through over 30 years of restoration and management for wildlife. Expect a walk of two to three miles on mostly level gravel/dirt roads and mowed paths. We may visit the sewer ponds if they have been productive the week before.

Directions and confirmation of exact meeting location and time will be provided upon registration.
