Several computers will be available at the Nature Center so that participants are able to enter their data correctly. After the introduction, participants are encouraged to use the 22 acres of Dunwoody Park to do their bird count. There are several prime viewing areas throughout the park including the tree house pavilion, education building, gazebo, Wildcat Creek and miles of trails. Participants are welcome to come back to the park throughout the weekend to continue their bird count or may take the information learned from the class home with them to continue their count at home. As part of the Nature Center s mission to educate children, families, and adults of all ages about the natural world and our place in it, this event will be FREE and open to the public.
