Aldermere Farms Birds and Beyond, Rockport

10 a.m. to Noon

Field Trip Description

Aldermere Farms is famous for their cows and nice people - and rightly so. But the 136-acre farm has a variety of habitats that any nature observer will enjoy. On this trip we'll not only focus our sights on the waves of birds migrating south, but we'll make sure to see whatever the woods have to offer. Fungus, insects, we'll check it all out!
