Summer is the time to appreciate our nesting bird species and to be on the lookout for recently fledged and immature birds. Join nature guide Amanda Lawson, an Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist, for a mostly slow-paced walk through the grounds of Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum. You may walk a few hills, it will just depend on where the birds lead you, and then look for year-round residents and summer residents like Indigo Buntings, Chipping Sparrows, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and Eastern Phoebes. You may even see Woodland’s Red-tailed Hawks, Cooper’s Hawks or Pileated Woodpeckers.

All walks are from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. and depart from the main entrance of the cemetery. Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum is located at 118 Woodland Avenue off of Brown Street near the UD Campus. This event is free and open to the public. To make a reservation or for more information, please call 937-228-3221.
