Bird Sanctuary & Nature Trail

DCA Bird Sanctuary and Nature Trail is open to the public and provides nearly four serene acres of swooping trails among majestic trees, native plantings, open spaces and water features. This quiet and thriving space provides nesting sites for birds and insects and a classroom for all who visit. Among the trees, you will find a rope bridge, a pondless waterfall, stump and log walks, and a rock spiral that is perfect for reflection or photos. Come visit our natural oasis on your own or with friends and family! All are welcome to visit from sunrise to sundown.
