Field Trip: Sterling Creek Park with Diana Churchill

(Member registration opens 10/5; nonmembers on 10/12)

Come explore this relatively undeveloped park with Ogeechee Audubon field trip chair and author Diana Churchill.  The area of the park which we will explore consists mostly of  impoundments which were once part of a sewage treatment operation, but are now left to birds and wildlife. In winter, we should find several species of sparrows and possibly up to 4 resident wrens. Sometimes we see snipes too! We plan to walk the 3-mile mowed trail around and through the impoundments. There is a restroom in the parking lot. Most of the walk is open to the weather, so dress accordingly. Watch for last minute messages the evening before. Bring a hat, sunscreen, water and bug spray. 

Directions:  Sterling Creek Park is at 1700 Elbow Swamp Road Richmond Hill, GA 31324. The entrance is off Harris Trail in the back of the Sterling Creek Park Subdivision, adjacent to the water treatment facility.
