With all the lovely weather we’ve been having it’s time to start birdwatching again! Do you like to go birdwatching but have no one to go with? Or are you just starting out and would like to hear from other birders at Clark? If either of these apply to you, join us at the Hadwen Arboretum for some casual birdwatching! We will be meeting in the Red Square to walk over as a group. 🦅🦆🕊️🦢🦃🦉Please dress for the weather and bring your own binoculars if you have them available to you (we will have a very limited amount).
