Register for this event at the bottom of Capitol Land Trust’s announcement here: https://capitollandtrust.org/bird-outing-to-bayshore-preserve/
Join Capitol Land Trust and Black Hills Audubon Society on a bird outing to Bayshore Preserve. Participants will get to witness Bayshore Preserve’s transformation from golf course to nature preserve. Bayshore Preserve is a 78-acre nature preserve conserved by Capitol Land Trust on Oakland Bay in Shelton.
This preserve protects a variety of habitats like Puget Sound shoreline, saltmarsh, oak prairie, and streamside forest along Johns Creek. We will be looking and listening for spring migrants and year-round residents. No prior bird experience is necessary. This is a family friendly event.
