Rise and shine with Constitution Marsh staff for a guided bird walk around Olana. Participants will walk the perimeter of Frederic Church’s landscape and learn more about the birds that will be calling the Hudson Valley home for the season.

During this program, local environmentalists and ecological stewards will lead walking tours of Olana, engaging participants in the work of their organizations and providing new insights into Olana’s 250-acres. By connecting their expertise with Olana’s physical landscape, each visiting environmentalist will provide a deeper understanding of Olana as not only an artist-designed landscape, but a resource for immersive explorations in our environment and appreciation of the natural world.
