Ages 12 and up (limited to 20 participants)

Join ASO for a special tour of a wetland area at DeSoto NWR. Meet promptly at 9 a.m. at the visitor center for an introductory program on the history of the refuge, its role as a migratory bird sanctuary and wetland management.  After the presentation, the group will caravan out to a designated area to walk around sections of wetlands. We will do some bird watching with more in depth discussion around wetland management and spend time answering questions.
