ROLLA, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), Rolla Public Library, and Ozark Rivers Chapter of the National Audubon Society are hosting a “Beginners Birding Walk” event for families & individuals at Ozark Rivers Audubon - Nature Center on March 30, 2026 between 4 – 5:30 PM. Enjoy a leisurely walk around the Ozark Rivers Audubon - Nature Center grounds, observing the birds that use this oasis of varied remnant prairie, riparian zone, open woodlands, savanna, pine forest, and glade. The walk is guided by Ozark Rivers Chapter of the National Audubon Society members, Missouri Master Naturalists, and MDC staff. While geared toward the beginner, birders of all skill levels are welcome. During the walk, bird identification, including old school methods and current apps, will be covered, as well as life history and related citizen-science opportunities. We'll meet at the “Audubon Trails Nature Center Pavilion” and please dress for the weather. If you are a Rolla resident, you can checkout one of the “new birding backpacks” from the Rolla Public Library to be utilized for this March 30th event, so plan accordingly. The walk will be on sidewalks, mixed natural surfaces, as well as uneven terrain. Bring binoculars if you have them, because there will be a limited number of binoculars available for checkout from the Rolla Public Library. Program is limited to 40 registered participants: ages 5 and older. For more information, contact Dwight Warnke at Dwight.Warnke@mdc.mo.gov. Dwight Warnke
