GUIDED TOURS  -  AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WINTER
A private Guided Tour of the Conservancy is a perfect opportunity to introduce friends and family to our incredible collection of waterfowl.
Must be scheduled in advance, based on Aviculturist availability.

Although we are closed for public visitation from November 20, 2022 to May 5, 2023, we are offering Guided Tours, weather-permitting, throughout the winter. It may be cold, but our waterfowl are in their full regalia of brilliant, breeding plumage in the months of January, February, and March. Led by one of our experienced aviculturists, your group will be introduced to many of the most colorful and interesting birds in the world while learning about the Conservancy’s history and how we’re working to conserve waterfowl and wetland habitats through research, education and conservation action.
