Your Help Is Needed!

St. Clair Woods Sanctuary

You can volunteer to help finish with the trail work we started last year at the Detroit Audubon St. Clair Woods Sanctuary. We will clear fallen trees and shrubs in the trail, repair and mark the trail and place logs and limbs along the trail. Of course we will look at the flowers and listen for birds while we are at it.

Dates: July 19th and August 9th.

Call the DAS office -248 354-4960 or email detas@bignet.net to say you are coming.

August may seem early for fall migration but for warblers, the end of August and the first few days of September are the peak time. That is why for years national birding tours have held warbler identification workshops Labor Day weekend at Pelee. Meet in the Visitor Center parking area. Remember to bring passport for entry into Canada and back into the U.S.
