Please join us as we follow avid bird enthusiast Claire Campbell on this outdoor adventure while we will look for interesting birds that are residents or just passing through the area.

On this inclusive mobility and family-friendly outing, we will take a slow hike, passing through woods, wetlands, and open farm fields. The trail follows along a section of the historic Burlington Mt Holly Railway – rail trail. The trail is a picturesque location perfect for birding opportunities as the site has a mixture of forest, open meadow, and wetland habitats as the area is crossed by stream networks of the North Rancocas River.
The trail is a good place to get long, clear looks at birds because of the relative openness of the farmland and dense forested wetlands. It is also a nice space to discover and become acquainted with, especially because of its quick and easy access to birding for almost anyone!

Accessibility Information:

The total length of this route is 1.5 miles.
The trail is a there-and-back route that follows flat, even terrain with no slopes. The trail is a minimum of 8 feet wide. The general trail surfaces are crushed stone and compacted soils, which will allow for rugged terrain wheelchair access.
The runtime of the event is estimated to be 2 hours.
There are benches on the property for resting, and there are two ADA-compliant parking spaces that will be used for a drop-off zone for those with mobility concerns. The parking lot is paved. There are ADA-compliant bathrooms available in the museum.

We look forward to birding with you!
