Take a walk on the Wild Side with the Layton Wild Bird Center
Join the Layton Wild Bird Center, Saturday's for a free nature/ bird walk. We leave from the Layton Wild Bird Center at 10 a.m. in winter and 8 a.m., spring/summer (unless posted otherwise).
Our bird walks are a great family activity and a wonderful way to introduce children to the world of nature. Expert birder and Division of Wildlife Resources volunteer Naturalist, Bill Fenimore leads the bird walk.
The cost of the nature/bird walks is enthusiasm. We take care of the rest. If we do go somewhere that an entrance fee is charged, we pay all entrance fees. You are the Wild Bird Center's guest.
Go to the Store Events page and click on any highlighted date to read the scheduled activity with appropriate details. We look forward to seeing you on a field trip with us.
