Join the Oak Spring Biodiversity Conservation Team for a winter wildlife walk. The 700-acre property is known for its bird diversity and in wintertime we enjoy seeing regular residents such as short-eared owls, northern harriers, and many other overwintering species. The morning will consist of a walking tour across the Rokeby side of the property to observe and highlight notable biota, such as bird, mammal, and plant communities, and discuss ongoing projects and collaborations. Novice and seasoned wildlife watchers welcome.

The Oak Spring estate, protected by Paul and Bunny Mellon as part of a conservation easement, features a rich mixture of fields, meadows, woods, streams, and wetlands. OSGF is actively stewarding the land to protect and foster wildlife communities on the estate. In accordance with the mission of the Foundation, OSGF’s Biodiversity Team is actively working to inventory the diversity of plants and animals on site, cultivate their habitats, and share these biotic treasures with the public.
