 The Discovery Center
Bird Club (DCBC) Bird Club was officially
established on
June 04, 2005.The Club welcomes all
birdwatchers, whatever one’s specific interest or skill level – be
it the beginner, expert, or casual observer.
The Club has set out with the goals to meet, share, have fun,
and improve our birding skills; to draw attention to the richness of
bird life in the Northwoods; and to participate in projects aimed at
bird conservation and habitat improvement efforts.
Guests
and prospective members are welcome to attend monthly meetings, held
the first Monday of the month at the
Discovery
Center. We begin informally, by
sharing sightings, stories and updates, by announcing upcoming field
trips, and by discussing and planning for future outings.
The meetings also entail an informative presentation by
volunteer members and guest speakers, and are always accompanied by
coffee and snacks.In
addition to meetings, newsletters, and social gatherings, membership
benefits include several researched outings each month April –
September, and at least one outing per month October – March.
Members and guest volunteers organize and lead outings, which
may be held locally or statewide. The
Discovery Center
offers a meeting place for members; provides administrative and
communication benefits such as computer and copier use;
an email contact; equipment;<>
and transportation. In turn, the Bird Club serves the local
community and the Center by leading outings open to the public, and by
promoting conservation and education through a variety of education and
conservation related projects.The North Lakeland Discovery Center is a featured spot along the Great Wisconsin Birding and Nature Trail -- and with good reason! The Center offers a variety of self-guided trails ideal for bird walks, as well as a number of public programs related to birds. For more information, please
