The Massachusetts Army National Guard’s Natural Resource Program is hosting grassland bird tours in May on Camp Edwards. This is an unusual opportunity for avid birders, naturalists and photographers to walk through the Camp Edwards grasslands on a guide-led tour.

There are several hundred acres of grassland managed on Camp Edwards at Joint Base Cape Cod. This thriving habitat, a rarity in the rest of Massachusetts, is home to a variety of grassland bird species including four state-listed species: Upland Sandpiper, Northern Harrier, Grasshopper Sparrow and the Eastern Meadowlark.

Tours will be held on May 18, May 19, May 25, and May 26 from 6-8am. Each is limited to 20 participants and filled on a first come, first served basis. To register for a tour, please email emily.d.kelly2.nfg@army.mil with your name, phone number, and desired tour date. See below flyer for more details.
