Embark on a birdwatching walk in the Arboretum’s landscape with birder and wildlife photographer Michael Bryant, AKA Nature Man Mike. This two-hour walk is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced birders. Binoculars will be available to borrow on a first-come-first-serve basis, but you are encouraged to bring your own!

Participants who have attended Nature Man Mike’s programs before should note that this one starts at a different location than usual: Bussey Street Gate (see map).

Audience: This program is geared towards adults.
