Join avid bird watcher and wildlife biologist Dave King for a trip through the Wildwood Cemetery grounds. We will likely see a variety of migrant birds returning from their winter homes in Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The terrain is a mix of dirt roads and woodland paths, including some gentle hills. Meet at the cemetery office in the brick Dickinson Farmhouse. Parking is available at the Wildwood Farmhouse (cemetery business entrance is across from the Wildwood Elementary School) and the Main Entrance (top of Strong Street). Please do not park on the grass, and be respectful of the grounds and the people who come to mourn. Restroom facilities are available at the start/end point. Questions? Contact Rebecca Fricke, General Manager, at amherst.cemetery@verizon.net. Limited to 15 participants. (E)
