About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Join us for a bird walk at one of the most beautiful outdoor spaces in the DMV with over 400 acres and 9 miles of winding roadways, The U.S. National Arboretum. Don't worry, we won't tackle all 9 miles! But we'll have a great time looking for our feathered friends among the gorgeous gardens & collections.

Know before you go ... please review the info below for more details about this event.

See you outside!

Please do not bring unregistered guests. It is unfair to your fellow birders on the waitlist and unfair to our volunteer guides. If you are on the Waitlist and have not received an email that a space has opened, unfortunately we're at capacity and can't add more to our flock for this walk.

CANCELLATION: The walk will proceed in drizzle (best time to bird!), but will be cancelled if heavy rain or thunderstorm; cancellation will be emailed at least 2 hours before meeting time.

WHAT TO BRING / PARK INFO:

  • Sunscreen / Sun Protection
  • Insect Repellant
  • Comfortable footwear to walk or hike. We will be walking on paved sidewalks and trails.
  • Water and snacks
  • If you have binoculars, please bring them.
  • Restrooms are available in the Administration Building, the Asian Collection and near the former Grove of State Trees by the corner of Eagle Nest and Azalea Roads. Accessible bathrooms are available in the Administration Building.

WHERE TO MEET: In front of the Administration Building. A map is available here.

Thank you for making our outdoor experiences one of the most popular outings in the DMV! 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!
