Trekking Together — Migrating Bird Guided Nature Hike

This hike starts and ends at the Woodcock Nature Center’s Orange Trail Trailhead, located at the end of Gilly Lane, Wilton.

Wilton Land Trust’s guided hike is in celebration of World Migratory Bird Day! Among birders, this is known as the Global Big Day — a day to get out and see as many bird species as possible! Together, participants will walk the trail across Spectacle Lane and into the Wilton Land Trust’s Spectacle Lane Trail to look and listen for birds, and learn about the forest and its various habitats.

WLT’s Executive Director will help attendees see the forest through the trees and Woodcock educator and birding enthusiast Tommy McCarthy will share his knowledge of all the species encountered.

So, grab a water bottle, supportive shoes, tick and bug repellant, a camera, and binoculars, and join WLT and Woodcock for a morning of adventure and learning. And don’t forget — leave furry friends at home, so they don’t scare away any potential wildlife!
