Saturday, March 30 | 9 - 10:30 am $25/ adult / child pair $15 additional adult (ages 14+) $12 additional child (13 and under) This program is designed for young birders ages 8 - 13 accompanied by an adult. This is not a drop-off program. Bird watching is a great way for families to spend time together outside! Come join us for a family-friendly bird walk and find out more about the birds of Tennessee. We'll go over easy tips for identification, practice using binoculars, and go for a bird scavenger hunt along the trails.  Bring your binoculars! Don't have a pair? We will have a limited number of binoculars to borrow. We will provide a basic checklist of common birds, but participants are welcome to bring a field guide as well.

Spring Lantern Hikes Friday, March 1, 2024 6 - 8 pm Friday, April 12, 2024 SOLD OUT 7:30 - 9:30 pm Cost: $18 / person Ages 12+. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Gate opens 30 minutes before program start. Program begins promptly at noted time. No late entries. No exceptions. Pack dinner and arrive early to picnic on the grounds. We are a pack-in/pack-out facility - please plan to take your trash with you. Come along on a nighttime adventure! We'll explore the woods at night by lantern light, listen for the sounds of nocturnal animals including owls, coyotes, crickets and frogs, and share stories about the history of Owl's Hill. This program is for adventurers who are looking for a longer hike than our typical evening programs. The route is 1.5 miles of moderately challenging natural surface trail. Participants can expect moderate uphill and downhill hiking as well as areas of uneven terrain. Once the hike departs, participants are expected to stay with the group for the duration of the hike. Closed-toe shoes suitable for hiking are strongly recommended. For the safety and comfort of all participants, participants are not permitted to carry additional sources of light (headlamps, flashlights, etc.). Lanterns will be provided.
