    Summer Birding Walk

    8:30am-10:30am

    Join us for a Summer Birding Walk!

    We’re teaming up once again with the Forsyth Audubon Society for a Birding Walk at Gateway Nature Preserve on Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 8:30 -10:30 AM. Audubon Society member Doug Deneve will lead us on a morning exploration of the preserve’s trails, including our newly opened Meadow Hiking Trail. We’re excited to highlight this beautiful new area for birding and nature enjoyment!

    This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow nature lovers, discover local bird species, and learn more about ongoing efforts to enhance bird habitat and education at the preserve. Please wear good walking shoes, and bring binoculars if you have them. All ages and experience levels are welcome. We can’t wait to see you there!
