Join a naturalist and/or park volunteer at the overlook deck each Friday as we use our eyes and ears to keep track of the birds, mammals, plants, and more as they make their appearance. No expertise necessary. Feel free to bring binoculars and hiking boots. Meet at the overlook deck just off the far east end parking lot.</p>
