Explore our incredible 143 acre sanctuary as you hike along with an experienced Audubon Naturalist. Discover the many animals living in and around the protected Balch Creek watershed and our sanctuary's pond, then walk into a stand of old growth forest. Students' senses will be filled with the smell of the moist forest, the sounds of birds calling and mammals scurrying about the forest floor and trees. During the tour, participants also visit the Wildlife Care Center (our hospital for injured wildlife), handle bird nests and animal skins, and see forest birds up close at our window feeders.
