Join the Catskill Center’s Finn Parnell for a guided stroll through the Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge, a haven for bird enthusiasts.

This guided hike is part of our month-long peer to peer fundraising event, Hike for the Catskills. This hike-a-thon-style fundraising event promotes an appreciation for the outdoors while raising funds to support the Catskill Center’s mission to protect and preserve the Catskills. You can support Hike for the Catskills by signing up to fundraise, or if you don't have time to fundraise this time around, your donations also have twice the impact thanks to a generous matching grant. When you register for this guided hike, check out our fundraising page to learn more.

Discover a diverse array of birds while learning to use mobile apps for easy identification—don’t forget your binoculars! A limited number of binoculars will be available to borrow. 

This event is FREE with a suggested donation of $10.00. Registration is required.

In the event of inclement weather, this walk will be cancelled.
