The Greenbrier River Watershed Association is hosting a morning bird walk on the Greenbrier River Trail on Sunday, Apr. 20. Please join us in the parking area at the start of the trail in Caldwell at Stonehouse Road at 8:30 a.m. to enjoy some coffee, tea, muffins and fellowship before heading north on the trail to identify birds in the brush, trees and river. No need to register, all are welcome!
The walk will be led by Dr. Merri Collins, Director of Ecology at Appalachian Headwaters. She is an Environmental Science PhD graduate of the University of Maryland and holds a master’s degree in Environmental Studies from Ohio University. She has a diverse background in wildlife conservation and ecology and has worked with a wide range of species across the mid- and southeastern United States from dragonflies to dolphins. Merri has a strong research background in Appalachian Wildlife Ecology.
The GRWA is grateful for the collaboration with Appalachian Headwaters to provide this event to the public. We have more exciting nature walks planned for this spring and summer to get people out to the river so please stay tuned by watching our Facebook page www.facebook.com/greenbrier.watershed.
