Open House – Capital City Bird Sanctuary at Hawk Valley Farm

Please join us from 9am-noon on Saturday, May 7 for a spring open house at Capital City Bird Sanctuary, featuring a variety of nature walks and activities, co-sponsored by Delta Township Parks and Recreation and Michigan Audubon. Capital City Bird Sanctuary is a new public nature sanctuary that protects 65 acres of forest, meadow, and riverside habitats. Nearly 2 miles of unpaved trails offer visitors a chance to get close to nature and observe birds, flowers, and wildlife. This family-friendly event includes activities for adults and children to learn about birds, plants, and frogs that can be found in your own backyard. The event will also feature helpful demonstrations on how to care for bird nest boxes, create native habitat, and Michigan Audubon volunteering opportunities. Please wear sturdy walking shoes or waterproof boots for unpaved, grassy or muddy trails. Bring binoculars if you have them. We hope to see you there!

Directions:

Capital City Bird Sanctuary at Hawk Valley Farm is located northwest of downtown Lansing, on Delta River Drive. Parking is available at Hawk Meadow Park, 6160 Delta River Drive. The sanctuary entrance is south of the Hawk Meadow Park parking area, marked by a wooden kiosk.
