The Black River Audubon Society will present Jamey Emmert and her program “Trail Magic: Rediscovering Ohio’s Lake Erie Birding Trail Legacy.”
The program starts at 7 p.m. Jan. 6 at the Carlisle Visitor Center, 12882 Diagonal Road in LaGrange.
Birding has the power to connect people to place — and few places are as vibrant, vital and bird-rich as Ohio’s Lake Erie shoreline, according to a news release.
Launched in 2014, the Lake Erie Birding Trail program received a major refresh, with 90 featured hotspots, a new guidebook, and an app.
Emmert, avian education coordinator of the Ohio Division of Wildlife, will give a behind-the-scenes look at the revitalization of this trail — from big-picture conservation goals to quirky bird-nerd side quests.
Attendees will learn about hidden gems along the route, discover how the trail supports communities and conservation and hear what’s next for the trail program.
Whether you’ve birded the trail for years or are just hearing about it for the first time, you’ll leave inspired to explore — and share — this iconic Ohio birding experience.
The Ohio Lake Erie Trail Book will be available for purchase at the program for $20.
This program is open to the public.
