This month, the Preserve will be teaching visitors how to use binoculars and find the Great Backyard Bird as everyone hikes out looking for our feathered friends who stayed for the winter. All programs are held at the Kreher Preserve & Nature Center unless otherwise noted. The nature center is located at 2222 N. College Street near the AU Fisheries and Hwy 280.
