Come along with us to view birds at the Big Tree Natural Area!

What will you see beyond the Big Tree? Join us for a bird walk in an area of the park that is otherwise closed to the public. We'll observe birds in a variety of habitats including live oak forests, coastal prairies, marshes, and bay shorelines. We may even be lucky enough to see an endangered Whooping Crane!

Registration: The electric tram is currently down for repairs. No registration required at this time.

When: Fridays from 8:30-11:00 A.M.

Where: Meet at the Day Use parking lot. After introductions, you'll caravan in your own vehicle out to Big Tree. 

*There are no facilities available at the Big Tree Natural Area.
