Join an expert birder to go birdwatching in Oliver’s Woods Nature Preserve!

Central Indiana Land Trust’s nature preserves offer a safe harbor for countless bird species. We’re teaming up with expert birder Wes Homoya, Field Ornithologist and Guide for Natural Selections Tours, for this series. This is a rare chance to enjoy guided birding tours of our region’s most biodiverse places. Join us in searching for migratory birds and year-round avian residents. We will likely train our binoculars on waterbirds, orioles, bluebirds, flycatchers, raptors, migratory warblers—and many more.
We’ll explore woodlands, meadows, streams, and river frontage managed by Central Indiana Land Trust.
All are welcome, including people with no birding experience. The best way to get started is to go with a seasoned guide like Wes.

What to Expect and Bring:

Easy, 0.6-mile hike over a flat, loop trail.
Scope or binoculars. We will have a small quantity to share with the group.
Dress in long pants thick enough to stand up to thorns, brush, poison ivy, ticks, and mosquitos (unfortunately leggings aren’t very protective).
Wear closed-toed shoes that can stand up to mud and clothes your don’t mind getting dirty.

In case of inclement weather, check email for updates.
