NJC Bird Club Field Trip to Lion’s Den Gorge

May 3 @ 7:00 am – 12:00 pm

Noel J Cutright Bird Club Field Trip to Lion’s Den Gorge

Run by the N.J.C. Bird Club, this field trip concentrates on the Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve, a 73-acre public park located adjacent to Lake Michigan south of Port Washington. The address is 511 High Bluff Dr, Grafton. The bird club was one of the first donors to the preservation of the Lion’s Den. The Lion’s Den is a well known hotspot for migrants given its location on the shores of Lake Michigan and its wide variety of habitats.

Meet at 7:00 am at Lion’s Den Gorge (address below).

Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary with Russ Green

In June 2021 NOAA announced the designation of the 962-square-mile Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary spanning Lake Michigan’s shoreline from Port Washington to Kewaunee. It will protect 36 shipwrecks that possess exceptional historic, archaeological, and recreational value. Historical research suggests that nearly 60 shipwrecks are yet to be discovered in the sanctuary. Join NOAA’s regional manager, Russ Green, for a brief overview of the sanctuary and discussion of ongoing projects both on and off the water.
