SUMMARY:Naturalist-led Walks
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers make it possible to offer public naturalist-led walks about a variety of topics. The following opportunities are listed by walk leader and topic.\nFor questions and to sign up for Ridgefield NWR\, email RidgefieldVolunteer@fws.gov.  \nBirding with Ron Escano\nRon Escano as Audubon instructor\nRon has years of experience guiding local birding groups. Whether you are new to birding and the refuge\, are looking to sharpen your skills\, or just hope to find a group to bird with\, Ron is a great person to spend a morning with. His pace is relaxed\, but thorough\, making sure everyone has seen or heard each species.  Ron will help new birders focus on key identification points to build their bird knowledge while sorting through the nuances of sparrow calls for more advanced birders. \nUpcoming walks start at 8 am at the Carty Unit of the Refuge and are limited to 15 people. These generally last two to three hours but you are welcome to stay as long or short as works for you. Walks are free but the $3 refuge daily fee does apply. For more information about the fee and rules of the refuge click here. \n\nSaturday October 29th\nSaturday November 19th\nSaturday December 17th\n\n\nBirding with Robert Vanderkamp\nRobert Vanderkamp\nBefore moving here from Michigan\, Robert led bird walks as the President of his Audubon Chapter for 17 years.  He has been watching birds for most of his adult life and lives by the motto “care and share”.

We will post these a few months at a time to accommodate for any needed changes in schedule. \nUpcoming walks start at 8 am at the Carty Unit of the Refuge and are limited to 10 people.
