Hike several trails to find spring migrants including thrushes, vireos, and warblers. South Mountain Reservation offers exceptional views of waterbirds at the reservoir as well as forest and edge habitats along the trails. Join us for a leisurely walk through the reservation looking for spring migrants. South Mountain Reservation covers 2,112 acres in the central section of Essex County, extending through the municipalities of West Orange, Maplewood, and Millburn, bordering South Orange, between the first and second ridges of the Watchung Mountain Range. The presence of the early Lenape Indians lingers in the name given to the Watchung—the “high hills.” Location: Meet at Oakdale parking lot PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED COST: $10 members, $15 nonmembers.
