Please join us the first Saturday of each month at 9 AM (barring special events or bad weather which will be announced on our Facebook page), for "Beginning Birding Walks," led by experienced birders from the Audubon Society of Kalamazoo. This event is free and open to the public. Meet at the second parking lot at Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery in Mattawan, just off SR 43. All skill levels are welcome.
We will enjoy nature while typically identifying 20-40 species of birds, plus butterflies, frogs, etc. Over 200 bird species have been sighted at Wolf Lake, which offers a variety of habitats and easy walking trails. Annual highlights include colorful songbirds like orioles, warblers, tanagers, hawks and eagles, kingfishers, Great Blue and Green Herons, and over 20 species of waterfowl. Eastern Bluebirds can be found year-round! Children accompanying adults are welcome. The focus is on birding fundamentals, and extra binoculars are always available. The walk typically takes about 2 hours (but feel free to arrive late or leave early).

Bring your kiddo to Glass Art Kalamazoo for our brand-new Kids Create series! These classes are geared toward children ages 6 and up working side-by-side with a parent/guardian.
It’s a great opportunity to get familiar with fused glass as you spend a fun day creating together in our studios! Choose from our wide variety of colored glass bits, frits, and stringers to bring your design to life.
No need to pre-register, just Walk-In anytime between 12pm – 3:30pm (last call). Please note: this project is similar to our Art Hop fused glass projects, and will not include the use of hand tools.
