Summer Saturday: Birding for Beginners

Birding for Beginners

Pine Hill Recreation Area near Waynesboro, Pa.

Calling all prospective birders.

Are you new to birding but want to learn? Join Buttonwood educators as we delve into the basics of birding.

You’ll learn how to use binoculars properly when birding and maybe spot some of our fine feathered friends like common warblers, finches or other birds.

Local birding groups have spotted up to 60 different species in the park—how many will you spot?

Participants should wear comfortable walking shoes.

Family-friendly fun!

This is one of eight different weekly Summer Saturday programs that run from 9–11 a.m. at Pine Hill Recreation Area.
Each week, we will explore a different nature topic as we enjoy the outdoors together.  

Sign up for one, several—or all sessions!

Registration is required for these programs. See form below. 

The fee for this program is $5 per person, children and adults. Kids age 2 and under are free.
