About this event

Dumbarton Oaks "... is a milestone in the history of American landscape architecture and a landmark in our social history, as it represents the finest work of Beatrix Farrand, America’s first professional female landscape architect." (https://dopark.org/about/)

The park holds and has hosted a lot of history in DC, highlighted in this short video. Recipients of the Bliss Symposium Award have published moving reflections on environmental histories and can be read here.

  • Comfortable footwear for a walk on packed and loose dirt/rock established trails.
  • Water and snacks.
  • If you have binoculars, please bring them.

All of our bird walks and trips are open to the public, and our walks operate on a donation basis, with the exception of our free monthly walk and special trips. Your generous support plays a crucial role in sustaining our programming, which includes our world-class guides. If you have binoculars, please bring them along, and for those without, we do have a limited number of spare binoculars available for use. Space can be limited, so registration is mandatory to ensure that everyone has a joyous experience in nature. See you outside!
