The Wetlands "The Bush"
The Kirtland's Warbler Audubon Society owns 38 acres of beautiful land named "The Bush". The property contains a wetland pond, fed by a stream, a cedar swamp and highlands. All surrounded by forest on three sides and a field on the west side. We also have a picnic area, a viewing platform and ample parking. The Trails are mowed annually and benches are provided at various locations for tired walkers. Anyone is welcome to walk our trails if accompanied by a member and must show proper respect for the abundant wildlife. Absolutely NO PETS ALLOWED. Warning!!! Do not bring sunflower seeds with you for fear of the wild Black-capped Chickadee attack!!! No, really, Paul Cleeves has quite the pack of Chickadees trained to eat right from your hand.... Don't forget the seeds!
