Guided Outings

Attend a guided outing

WBFN offers a variety of outings for members to learn, explore and participate in the natural environment. Excursions can range from birds, to butterflies, to wildflowers, or just a beautiful walk in the forest. They can be full days, short walks, stationary gatherings, or short notice “on-the-fly” events to take advantage of quickly changing natural conditions. Outings offer a range of mobility levels from moderately challenging to stationary observations which we like to call “big sits”. Best of all, our volunteer leaders are eager to share their knowledge and help you explore the environment of Northumberland County.
