Can people benefit from feeding the birds?

 

Winter Bird Open House

Penitentiary Glen Reservation

Feeding and watching the birds in your yard are great ways to “connect with nature.” Spend a cozy winter afternoon at Penitentiary Glen Nature Center learning all about winter birds.

 

The Winter Bird Open House features free, fun activities for the whole family!
