Stanley Park is a great place to see a variety of birds especially during the breeding season! Bring your binoculars and help us do an eBird count in the wildlife sanctuary.

Bring binoculars if you have some. Beginners welcome; no experience necessary.  Martha (Marti) Kane grew up in Westfield but spent most of her career in North Carolina training park rangers and managing a nature preserve.  She recently retired and moved back to the area.  She enjoys doing eBird counts at area parks and monitoring nest boxes for bluebirds and other cavity-nesting songbirds.

In a collaborative effort between Stanley Park and the Greater Westfield Community, nine free Nature Workshops will be conducted in the 229-acre Wildlife Sanctuary* at Stanley Park this season.  We hope you take advantage of these opportunities to enjoy nature’s beauty.

The walks and workshops will meet at the main entrance sign to the Frank Stanley Beveridge Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary* located across from the recreation field unless otherwise noted.  Walks will cancel if there is heavy rain, unless otherwise noted. Wear hiking attire, sturdy boots/shoes, bring water, your field guides, binoculars and camera if you wish.
