About

Participants in the guided walk will meet at the Resource Center building, then walk down to Wintergreen Lake to look for spring birds. During the hike, we’ll observe National Swan Day by celebrating the Trumpeter Swan, a majestic bird that has made an incredible comeback. We’ll talk about former Sanctuary manager Joe Johnson’s work to reintroduce Trumpeter Swans to Michigan and its conservation impact across the Midwest, including the swans’ recent removal from Michigan’s threatened and endangered species list.

The cost of attendance for Sanctuary members is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors and students, and $4 for children ages 2-17. For non-members, admission is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and students, and $6 for children ages 2-17. Though the program is geared toward adults, avid junior birders are also welcome.
