In addition to our monthly meetings, Jackson Audubon sponsors field trips, the Jackson County Big Trees program, and the annual Waterloo Christmas Bird Count.

In the fall of 2017, Jackson Audubon began scheduling Tuesday morning nature walks, tours, and trips throughout the area.  These tours meet at the destination or depart from a carpool to the destination.  Trips generally start at 9 AM and go until about noon. Lunch is an option after the event.

We do walks in our local area like Haehnle, Dahlem, Watkins Lake SP, Portage River Fen (below) and Nan Weston. In addition, we run trips to some out of county areas like the Muskegon Wastewater Treatment plant, Dowagiac Woods, and Pt. Mouillee SGA.  Since we have access to some great institutions in the area, we visit Hidden Lake Gardens (above), and the Natural History museums at Michigan and Michigan State Universities. We also visit some great "south of the border" locations in Ohio including Goll Woods, Oak Openings, and of course, Magee Marsh.
