Join our EPZ Educators as they participate in the annual Great Backyard Bird Count! With Elmwood Park Zoo’s temporary closure, we are partnering with Norristown Farm Park to host our annual exploration in our fantastic neighbor’s natural space! This interactive experience is perfect for bird lovers of all ages. Participants will get an introduction to bird watching and explore the Farm Park grounds. The count helps create a real-time snapshot of where birds are living and migrating. This nationwide event helps avian researchers gather information to better protect wild birds for the future!
This event is rain or shine. If inclement weather occurs, registrants will be contacted via email.
Directions to Norristown Farm Park:
The park’s main entrance is located at W. Germantown Pike and Barley Sheaf Drive. Once you are on Barley Sheaf Drive continue to the right and follow the signs to get to the pavilions.
