Birding and Wildlife Watching for Kids!

February 18 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Do you have a budding naturalist, birder, or photographer in your family? This tour is just for them! Kids and parents will join SCDNR staff on a special kid-friendly version of our regular birding and wildlife photography trip. All skill levels are welcome – come and learn how to use binoculars, identify birds, wildlife, and more! All children must be accompanied by an adult. This trip requires little walking, but participants will need to navigate 2 floating docks and a pontoon boat to cross the Intracoastal Waterway, as well as a few steps onto the tour bus. Bring a snack and drink. Trips start at 10:00 and run until approximately 2:00.
