Tour of Cane Hill Restoration Sites - Saturday, August 22nd, 2026
The Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society will host a birding field trip to the Cane Hill area on Saturday, August 22nd at 8:00 AM. Surrounding the Historic Cane Hill site, there are an additional 3,000 acres of private land undergoing wildlife restoration. Some of this land has become available to appointment-based bird surveys by the general birding public and we'll be touring some of these sites to learn how to contribute to these surveys. Savanna Springs LLC, the restoration company leading this work, will join us to talk about these ongoing projects. The area offers a great mix of forest, riparian, and grassland bird species including Painted Bunting that has been observed on recent surveys. We'll gather at the Martha Elizabeth Moore Gardens at 8:00 AM to briefly explore this property, then drive to two more sites: Bush Valley and Twin Bridges Farm. Expect the full tour to last ~3hrs, and include up to 2-3 miles of walking along mowed grass paths. Sturdy shoes, water, sun protection, and bug repellant are recommended.
Limited to 25 attendees. RSVP at trips@nwarkaudubon.org with the trip name, your name, and the number attending.
