Outdoor Programs
Birding at the Blue Ridge Center
On the fourth Saturday of each month (except December) the Loudoun
Wildlife Conservancy leads a bird walk at the Blue Ridge Center. We
meet at the Education Center at 8:00 a.m.
the morning of the walk. Beginners are welcome and encouraged to attend
our monthly bird walks. Blue Ridge Center's valley meadows and heavily-forested mountain slopes are habitat and home to a great diversity of
birds. Come out and see why Blue Ridge Center is a stop along the
Virginia Bird & Wildlife Trail! Please bring binoculars. Questions:
contact Joe Coleman, 540-554-2542, jcoleman (at) loudounwildlife.org. Free
for members and nonmembers.

Birds of the Ridge Trail
This outstanding setting provides a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages to learn about and observe birds. Families, hikers, birders and anyone interested in enjoying our beautiful setting is invited to stop by our office and check out a Birds of the Ridge Daypack. Equipped with the tools of a naturalist, each pack contains
binoculars (suitable for children and adults), a field guide, trail
map, suggested activities and sketching materials. We highly recommend
using the Daypack while strolling along our Birds of the Ridge Interpretive Trail.
Farming Tours
At Mountain View Farm, we know that healthy soil means healthy food for
healthy people. We work closely with our Extension Agents and soil
scientists from local universities to understand the nature of our soil
and make it as healthy and vibrant as possible. All of our produce and
flowers are grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Our
livestock graze in our pastures, drink spring water, and never receive antibiotics or hormones. Shawna DeWitt and Attila Agoston are leasing this historic site from the Blue Ridge Center. They are working to re-create a true family farm.
Farm Tours are available in spring, summer and fall. Please contact Jeffrey Alvey to schedule a tour. Historical and Archaeological Hikes - TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
