Join Fernbank Museum and Birds Georgia for this family-friendly beginner birding program. Guests will learn to identify commonly spotted bird species native to the Georgia Piedmont before practicing these new skills on a birding tour through Wildwoods. This outdoor program is for all ages and lasts approximately 1½ hours. Children under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Participants are reminded to dress for the weather and bring binoculars, if available, and water with them.

Cost: $10 for members/$20 for nonmembers

Things to know before you visit:

  • Be sure to check the weather and dress accordingly.

  • Wildwood Trails are ADA accessible
  • In case of inclement weather or not receiving the minimum number of registrations, Fernbank reserves the right to cancel the hike. Fernbank will email registered participants the day prior to the scheduled hike to alert guests to the cancellation and issue a refund.
