Plan Your Visit
June is a magical time to visit rural Barry County in southwest Michigan! Frogs drumming, dragonflies buzzing, and Cerulean Warblers singing in habitat–you won’t want to miss Cerulean Warbler Weekend, June 3 – 5, 2011.
What to bring: comfortable walking/hiking shoes, lightweight rain jacket, sweatshirt or fleece (evenings and mornings can be cool), reusable water bottle, sunscreen, sunglasses, optics, cameras, and field guides.
Optional gear: canoe, kayak, paddles, life jackets; bicycles, journals, art supplies, yoga mats
For those who wish to camp, there are a few options in the area (see information below).
The event features opportunities to kayak or canoe on a small stream through the sanctuary; all equipment is provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own watercraft and gear, including PFDs.
A change of casual clothing will be useful for the banquet event on Friday evening and the social gathering at the Walldorff Brew Pub & Bistro on Saturday evening.
