Birding at Green Lane Park

Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania

Mon, Nov 12, 2012, 8am - 3pm

Tickets: Members: $60 Non-Members:$65

Join local birding enthusiast, Ruth Pfeffer, for a trip to Green Lane Park located in western Montgomery County. The park is nearly 3,000 acres and contains an 800-acre lake. Diverse habitats make the park an important stopping off point for migrating wildfowl. In addition to the lake there are woodlands, conifer plantations, fallow fields, and a shallow marsh/meadow. We hope to see a variety of ducks and raptors. We will make a number of stops within the park including the bird blind and the Church Road Nature Center, which houses a variety of interesting bird exhibits. Novice or experienced birders are welcome. The trip includes van transportation from the Arboretum. Lunch will be at a nearby restaurant but the cost is not included in the trip fee. Bring binoculars and a water bottle.


Location:

100 East Northwestern Avenue Philadelphia, PA In the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia

We will meet at the Arboretum and travel by van. Park in the meadow next to the Arboretum entrance kiosk.
