***Please note the starting location change from Farmville to High Bridge Station.***
The Margaret Watson Bird Club will co-host a birding adventure with High Bridge Trail as we celebrate National Public Lands Day. Participate with our local bird club as we conduct a wild bird survey from High Bridge. We will depart from High Bridge Station at 8:30 a.m. to walk to the bridge. If time allows, we will journey under the bridge as well.
Please dress for the weather, wear good walking shoes, and carry water. We recommend bringing binoculars. We welcome all visitors to this enjoyable and informative program for all knowledge and experience levels. A reasonable level of physicality is required for the 1.5-mile hike on fairly uneven trail. For more information, email highbridgetrail@dcr.virginia.gov or contact the High Bridge Trail State Park office at (434) 315-0457.
About National Public Lands Day
Virginia State Parks celebrates National Public Lands Day each September by inviting volunteers and visitors to take part in the largest single-day volunteer effort for public lands in the country. Join in preserving and enhancing the natural beauty of the state’s public lands through a variety of hands-on activities, including trail maintenance, tree plantings, invasive species removal, litter clean-ups and educational programs on the importance of conservation. Parking fees are waived at most Virginia State Parks for National Public Lands Day (excludes Grayson Highlands and the admission fee at Natural Bridge and Southwest Virginia Museum).
