Do you enjoy waterfowl, eagles, hawks and shorebirds? Join past Willapa Hills Longview members John and Margaret Green on a trip to Billy Frank Nisqually Wildlife Refuge, just north of Olympia, Washington.
We will meet in the refuge parking lot at 9:00 AM, Wednesday morning, January 22nd, 2025 . The Refuge is roughly an hour's drive from Longview, at I5 exit 114. Be sure to dress for inclement weather, since January can be unpredictable.
We will spend 3 - 4 hours walking well maintained trails but if you don't wish to stay the entire time, you can peel off from the group at any point. There are also benches available for relaxed viewing.
We did this trip a few years ago and saw lots of birds. Please RSVP by
