Ozark National Scenic Riverways is hosting a spring birdwatching workshop Saturday, May 21, along the Current River.
Birdwatching is the fastest-growing outdoor recreational activity and can be enjoyed by folks of all ages. Park rangers and birding experts will guide participants on an exploration of Big Tree, south of Van Buren.
Spring in the Ozarks is one of the best times to view and identify a wide variety of native and migratory birds. Participants will learn about birdwatching and gain tips for successfully continuing this hobby on their own.
Space is limited, Contact Dena Matteson at 573-323-8028 to pre-register and receive detailed information about the workshop. Registered participants will receive a free waterproof field guide.
The workshop is part of a series of activities and events planned at Ozark National Scenic Riverways throughout 2016 to celebrate the centennial of the National Park Service. For more information about upcoming centennial programs, visit the park’s Facebook page or website at www.nps.gov/ozar.
Ozark National Scenic Riverways preserves the free-flowing Current and Jacks Fork Rivers, the surrounding resources, and the unique cultural heritage of the Ozark people.
