The tour will meet at Burr Oak Lodge and briefly discuss local history of the area focusing on resource extraction. From there we will head over to Tom Jenkins Dam to check out some water birds. Next we will drive to Wildcat Hollow and look for woodland birds in an area that was once heavily logged. We will drive to Somerset to a bite to eat and a visit to the farmers market. After, we will head to a restored grassland area near Rehobeth. We will head back to Burr oak after this.
