Friends of Laurelwood Arboretum will welcome the sights and sounds of New Jersey’s spring migrants with a series of morning walks beginning Saturday, April 27 at 8 am (rain date April 28).  Walkers will meet at the Sensory Garden located near the Vale Road parking lot at Laurelwood Arboretum, 725 Pines Lake Drive West, Wayne. Future dates are May 13, May 27 and June 15.  Walks will proceed even if there is light rain.

“On our bird walks, we’ll follow three easy steps—listen, observe, identify—as we stroll along the beautiful woodland trails to spot colorful spring migrants, as well as our friendly year-round residents,” said walk leader Sharon Lewis.  Walks are geared toward beginners, but all levels are welcome.  For a better birding experience, wear appropriate attire, bug spray and sunblock, and bring binoculars.
