CALDWELL W.Va. (WVDN) – The Greenbrier River Watershed Association is hosting a morning bird walk on the Greenbrier River Trail, Sunday, March 22. Officials invite the public to join them in the second larger parking area at the trail in Caldwell at Stonehouse Rd., at 8:30 a.m. to enjoy some coffee, tea, muffins and fellowship before heading north on the trail to identify birds in the brush, trees and river. No need to register, all are welcome.
The walk will be led by Dr. Merri Collins, Director of Ecology at Appalachian Headwaters. She is an Environmental Science Ph.D. graduate of the University of Maryland and holds a master’s degree in Environmental Studies from Ohio University. She has a diverse background in wildlife conservation and ecology and has worked with a wide range of species across the mid- and southeastern United States, from dragonflies to dolphins.
Collins has a strong research background in Appalachian Wildlife Ecology. The GRWA is grateful for the collaboration with Appalachian Headwaters to provide this event to the public.
Officials said, “We have more exciting nature walks planned for this Spring and Summer to get people out to the river, so please stay tuned by watching our Facebook page www.facebook.com/greenbrier.watershed.”
