Spring Bird Walk on the Schuylkill River Trail

​Join Schuylkill Banks and Bird Philly for a free, guided bird walk on the Schuylkill River Trail in Philadelphia.

​​Learn about local birds and explore the trail. No birding experience necessary!

​​​Meet at the parking lot on the Bartram's Mile section of the trail near the main entrance of Bartram's Garden (at the meadow). We will walk up to a mile, stopping frequently. You can get to this section of the trail via bike, car, or public transit. There are public bathrooms available at Bartram's Garden.

​Exact meeting spot here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6cKQDRsAgmc7ruZd6

​​Advance registration is not required to attend, but RSVPing helps us to get a sense of how many people are coming.

​If the walk needs to be rescheduled because of weather, we'll post an announcement here.

​​No binoculars? No worries! Birding backpacks with binoculars and field guides can be borrowed from ALL Philly Free Library branches.

​​For additional questions, please reach out to [email protected].
