Genesee Valley Audubon Society (GVAS) invites you to get some nature therapy by taking a walk in the woods for no longer than two hours. This trail is on a natural pathway. We may have the possibility of coaxing a chickadees, tufted titmice and nuthatches to drop in your hand for a food offering of black oiled sunflowers and peanuts. Sunflower seeds and peanuts will be available at the event. We will also be using eBird and the Merlin apps to identify the birds around us as we celebrate the weekend of the Great Backyard Birdcount (February14th -17, 2025.
