COUNTY — Join Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District on May 27 from 7-9 a.m. for a morning of birding at the Ten-mile River Demonstration Forest on the Hiram/Brownfield town line.

The demo forest is part of the migration route for many exciting birds, and in spring the forest comes alive with the songs of warblers and the sight of birds flitting through the understory.

This walk is intended for all levels of birders and bird-curious people. Our trip leader, Joe Scott, will be helping us identify birds by both sight and sound.  Participants should bring binoculars and wear sturdy hiking or walking shoes. We will be walking on easy to moderate level hiking trails. Layered clothing and hats are recommended as well as sunscreen, insect spray, and water.

This event is free, but participants are asked to please register by visiting our website at oxfordcountyswcd.org/workshops. The registration deadline is Friday, May 26, 2023. For more information, contact Chantelle Hay, Education and Outreach Coordinator at Oxford County Soil and Water Conservation District: [email protected] or 207-744-3111.
