Junior Birder Hike planned at Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge

Is there a budding young birder in your home? The Friends of Patoka River NWR will hos a birding hike for youngsters ages eight to 18 on Saturday, April 22, at 8 a.m. CT at Boyds Station on the Refuge.

The hike will last approximately two hours and is open to both experienced and inexperienced junior birders. There will be a limited number of binoculars available for use, so if those attending have binoculars, we ask that they bring their own. Parents may follow along with the hike or explore the nearby areas. Sturdy walking shoes and
insect repellent are strongly recommended.

To get to the Refuge, take State Road 64 east through Oakland City. Look for the brown Refuge signs and follow the signs to the Snakey Point Marsh.
