There are workshops, hikes and walks all catered to teach you how to use the Refuge. You can learn how to listen for bird species, identify plants, about the geology of the area, the peoples who came before us and still tend to the land, how to take photos of it all, paint the landscape, and much more.
In between the units of the Refuge lies Downtown Ridgefield where there will be even more excitement. BirdFest events in town include- shopping, food, and kids activities at Overlook Park, more shopping from local artists and artisans at the Birders Marketplace in the Ridgefield Community Center, Bluegrass Music, Audubon Live Bird Show, Zoo Zap Teens, and general festival fun.
