Join Phil Brown, Matt Tarr, and others for a morning of birding and learning at Stone Fence Farm, a property owned and managed for a diversity of native species by professional foresters Jeremy Turner and Laura French. Through slow walking tours in a variety of field, forest, and wetland habitats, we’ll learn tips for identifying the birds we encounter by sight and sound; the ecology and habitat needs of those species; and how the forests, fields, and wetlands we see can be managed to enhance habitat for birds and other wildlife. In between walks, we’ll take a break to enjoy wood-fired fruit pies (provided by Jeremy and Laura) and shade-grown Costa Rican coffee brewed by Ignacio Oreamuno of Troubardour Coffee. Bring binoculars and your favorite field guide to birds, and come prepared for biting insects. Beginning birders welcome!

5:30 to 10:45 a.m. at Stone Fence Farm in Unity. Rain date: June 9. Optional camping onsite and pizza dinner on Friday. Continuing education credits for foresters are available.

Cost: $35/person. Scholarships are available. For more information, contact Miles Stahmann.
