THE 2023 CSVW ANNUAL BIRD WALK
Led by Christine Costello of U.S. Forest Service
SATURDAY • MAY 20, 2023 • 7:30am
SAVE THE DATE because this event is one of the highlights of our year here at
Chapman Sanctuary and Visny Woods!
We are so fortunate to have Christine Costello of the U. S. Forest Service back with us again this year to lead the way through the beautiful CSVW acreage. Come along and enjoy a spring morning looking and listening for the returning migrators, and countless varieties of birds that make the sanctuary their home.
Our group will explore some of the habitats available for birds right here at the sanctuary, from woodlands to open fields and the waters at Teacup Lake. CSVW Birdhouses offer terrific nesting opportunities for the local wild birds and are usually bustling with activity this time of year.
The birdhouses also create some fine birdwatching.
Birdwatching is a wonderful pastime that can be enjoyed by just about anyone!
Whether you are an expert or just curious about birding, you can have a great experience at the CSVW Annual Bird Walk. Beginners will learn to identify birds by both sight and sound as we look to the skies and trees along the trails.
Experts and enthusiasts, please join us and bring your knowledge. We can all learn from each other and share birding tips, stories and ideas. Bird Walk participants will discuss some ways to help our feathered friends thrive by paying attention to the environment that birds and other wildlife depend on
for their survival.
Additional information and what to bring:

UNITED WAY
DAY OF CARING 9:00am Monday, September 12, 2022 Chapman Sanctuary and Visny Woods 740 Mt Israel Road • Center Sandwich, NH 03227 The United Way is sending a team of volunteers to CSVW as part of the United Way's Day of Caring annual event. The group will perform some very important maintenance on the trails, in the gardens and all over the sanctuary grounds. CSVW Wildlife depends on the protected environment provided by Chapman Sanctuary and Visny Woods and it is imperative to keep trails open, clear of brush and passable for both the wildlife and the public. The gardens need weeding and edging in order to continue to flourish, especially for the many critically important pollinators at the sanctuary. |
