2 hours

Bird Walks

Weekly Kal-Haven Trail Walks
Our weekly Kal-Haven Trail walks will be on Tuesdays at 9:00 AM in April, beginning on April 4th, starting at the Trailhead on North 10th Street between G and H Avenues. A few of us walk 2.5 miles to the usually very birdy marsh at 8th Street and then back for a total of 5 miles, but anyone can cut that short and turn around at any time. There will not be a “leader” although someone will be keeping a species list. See the article below for changes this year.

We’ll be continuing the years’ long tradition of Tuesday morning trail walks on the Kal-Haven Trail in April, May, September and October. We meet at the caboose at the trailhead on 10th Street. The walks will start at 9:00 AM in April, September and October, but start an hour earlier, 8:00 AM in May when it should be lighter, warmer, and birdier.

Walks will start on Tuesday, April 4th. During the walks, social distancing will be maintained. No spotting or shuttling of cars will be available unless you arrange your own.

If you would like to be in an email group to be notified of the latest status of the walks or to discuss weather conditions, please send an email to Joyce Leppard at joyceannleppard@nullgmail.com.

We hope to see you on the trail!
