First Saturday Walking Tours at Seward Park
Come learn about the history, geology, ecology, and restoration of Seward Park with Paul Talbert, president of the Friends of Seward Park. These free walking tours meet at 11:00 am on the 1st Saturday of the month outside the Seward Park Environmental and Audubon Center, and usually last about two hours and cover one or two miles. Dress for the weather. A water bottle, snack, and binoculars are always useful if you have them, but are not necessary.


December 3 – Winter Visitors and Winter Challenges
In winter when many birds have left for tropical vacations, ducks and other water birds come to Seward Park from the north; also juncos and varied thrushes come down from the mountains. We’ll look for these visitors and contemplate how they and other park residents spend their winters. We can also practice a little winter twig botany and look for any fruits persisting through the winter.
