About this Event

Join The Nature Conservancy and expert birder, Jim Nix, on a guided excursion at Riverview Park to make wildlife observations and identify species, specifically migrating spring birds. This event is part of the annual Charlottesville Region biodiversity challenge. The 2025 City Nature Challenge (rural areas, too!) will take place around the globe. Learn more at www.citynaturechallenge.org. Help us showcase Virginia’s brilliant biodiversity by finding and documenting local plants and wildlife!

Please download the free iNaturalist App on your smartphone prior to the walk. Families are welcome, but this outing is geared to adults interested in birding of all experience levels. Please do not bring your pet to avoid scaring off any birds (service dogs are welcome). Restrooms are available.

Riverview Park is featured as an accessible birding site on Birdability. It has a 2.3 mile loop of mostly paved, flat trail at least 60 inches wide with periodic benches. Ample parking is available. The entrance to Riverview Park is about a block from a stop on the Route 1 CAT public transport bus. However, it is a somewhat steep descent from the bus stop to the park. Jaunt is also available: call (434) 296-3184 or email [email protected] to arrange a ride from Jaunt.

In case of inclement weather, we will move this event to Sunday, April 27 at 7:30am. We have room for 12 participants. If your schedule changes and you need to cancel, please let us know. Contact us if you would like to be added to the wait list after the event reaches capacity. A reminder email will be sent a week before the outing with additional information.

Help us top last year's local wildlife observation results!

Greater Charlottesville area: 2,900+ wildlife observations, 200+ observers
