Migration Madness: An Avian Adventure at Newport Farms
 

Join us for a guided Avian Adventure at Newport Farms led by ACT's Executive Director & Assateague Coastkeeper, Taylor Swanson and Maryland Coastal Bays Program, Bird Habitat Coordinator, Kim Abplanalp.

Taylor and Kim are life-long expert birders who will guide us and explore the wonder of Migration Madness! Witness firsthand how migratory birds rely on the Eastern Shore as a critical stopover on their long journeys and learn why protecting these habitats is vital to their survival and what their travels reveal about the health of our bays.
 

Our region plays a key role in providing food, shelter, and safe passage for countless bird species. From wetlands to farmland, these landscapes are lifelines, but only if we safeguard them with clean water and healthy ecosystems.

You’ll hear practical stories from the field, learn birdsongs and calls, how changing habitats affect local species, and see how Assateague Coastal Trust works to protect the waters they rely on.
 

Date: Saturday, October 3rd, 8:00-11:00AM
