Hikes, Bird Watching and more!

There is something invigorating about crisp winter morning air! Join a Darke County Parks’ Naturalist as we hike the trails of Shawnee Prairie (4267 State Route 502 West) each and every Tuesday morning. We will focus on birds, tree ID, winter animal tracks and anything else that catches our eye! Hikes will begin at the winter start time of 9:00am in December, January and February. Meet in the Nature Center parking lot dressed for the weather. 

Don’t enjoy the cold weather? Join the Darke County Park District as we participate in Project FeederWatch, every Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:30-11:30am.  This is a unique ‘Citizen Science’ program organized by Cornell University which studies winter bird populations.  Your observations may be used in scientific journals and shared with ornithologists and bird lovers nationwide.  No matter your birding level, beginner or expert, we need YOUR help! We’ll gather inside the Nature Center at Shawnee Prairie Preserve and count the birds that visit our bird-feeding station.  Only available for a portion of the count time?  That’s fine!  Just drop in anytime on Tuesday or Wednesday from 9:30am-11:30am.   And did we mention we’ll have warm drinks available? 

For more information on the Early Morning Discovery Hike, Project FeederWatch or if you have any questions, call the Nature Center at 937.548.0165 or visit our website at www.darkecountyparks.org Don’t forget your binoculars!
