Join us on Saturday, June 26, for a day of events at Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park! You are welcome to spend all or part of the day with us. The events are open to the public and are free.
2:30 pm. Tom Forwood, Park Naturalist at L&C Caverns will give a talk in the education room of the new VisitorÕs Center, and welcome people to the park.
3:30 pm to about 6:00 pm. Birding tour of the park. We will begin at the lower park and work our way up through different habitats. Meet at the Main Visitor Center (new one at the bottom of the park).
6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Break for dinner. Bring your dinner, snacks, and beverages to enjoy in the park.
7:00 pm to about 8:30 pm. Tom Forwood will lead a nature walk featuring the plants and birds of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. TomÕs knowledge of the plants of the park always excites and enlightens the participants of his nature hikes.
9:00 pm to about 10:30 pm (Open ended): Tom Forwood will lead a Sacajawea Audubon exclusive after-hours walk into the park to look for Common Poorwill. Every effort will be made to see, as well as hear, poorwills. Last yearÕs trip was very successful with eighteen participants seeing two poorwills. We will also look for other nocturnal inhabitants of the park, including owls, bats, and herps. Meet at the new VisitorÕs Center. Contact: Byron Butler for more information.
