The registration fee for the entire festival is only $10. This fee includes admission to the park, parking and access to exhibits and booths. The Welcome Reception on Thursday evening is also included. Field trips, guided walks, workshops, seminars and some special events have an additional fee.

Group sizes are kept small to assure the best possible birding experience. Be sure to register as early as possible. Pre-registration will ensure the best availability of field trips, workshops and tours. Please remember that most events have limited seating and reservations will be filled in the order received.

Note: You must be registered for the festival in order to attend any tour, field trip, guided walk, seminar or workshop. Some walks during the Saturday Family Nature Fair are exempt from this rule.

As in any outdoor experience, you may encounter nature’s hazards. We recommend that you dress appropriately for the weather, wear a hat, use sunscreen, and bring along bug repellant.
