Join Bill Telfair for a morning bird walk at Rolling Ridge Conservancy!
PVAS Host: Bill Telfair
Free and open to the public. For ages 8 and older. All youth must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is required and limited to 15 participants.
Explore the habitat and the bird life with others on the gorgeous trails of Rolling Ridge Conservancy, the largest privately-owned wilderness area near Washington DC and along the entire Appalachian Trail.

These walks are held on the second Tuesday of every month.
