Join the Piedmont Environmental Council and the Piedmont Virginia Bird Club for a grassland bird walk Sunday, June 15 at Whisper Hill Farm in Scottsville, Va. We’ll give a short introduction of the Virginia Grassland Bird Initiative before heading out to bird watch and walk.

What the walk will be like: We’ll be walking in fields with tall grass and around the farm where produce is grown. The 2-mile walk has large paths but terrain may be rocky.

What you’ll need: Wear long pants as we’ll be walking through tall grasses, sunblock, insect repellent, water and anything else you need to feel comfortable. Binoculars and a camera are a plus to get an up close look at the birds.

What you’ll get: All participants will receive a copy of the Meet Your Grassland Birds Field Guide to use during the event and to take home.

The event is free but registration and a signed participation waiver are required. Please fill out the waiver before attending.
