Join us for an early morning bird walk along the scenic Arkansas River Trail in Pueblo, where we’ll explore the rich ecosystem of this vital water source. From the breadth of the river’s watershed to the delicate world of insects, we’ll delve into the interconnectedness of nature and the critical role this river plays for both wildlife and our community. Whether you're an experienced birder or a curious nature lover, this walk promises a unique opportunity to learn about the birds, bugs, and habitat that thrive along the Arkansas River. Led by expert guides Theron Verna, Land Stewardship Manager for Palmer Land Conservancy, and Marla Browne, board member of Arkansas Valley Audubon Society and passionate birder, this walk is an experience you won’t want to miss. Proceeds support the mission of Pueblo Food Project, helping to nourish our community while we explore the natural beauty around us.
