A Walk in the Woods is a self-guided retreat scheduled for every 4th Monday each month in 2019. One or more of our Friends of Chakchiuma Swamp will be there, to keep you company and suggest points of interest. Hike one of our many trails, bring your own picnic and dine under the delicate cathedral of cypress & tupelo.

With over 60,000 miles of trails in the National Trail System across the 50 states, there is no lack of opportunity to take a hike. Lee Tartt Nature Preserve offers 6 trails, with a 1-mile loop on the South Trail, perfect for a peaceful moment of renewal. Extend your walk 1/4 mile from the scenic Grenada Downtown District to Lee Tartt Nature Preserve.

No special skills or gear are required.
Bring binoculars if you have any.

Since some of the trails are frequently wet, we recommend comfortable waterproof shoes / boots during seasonal rains.

This event is FREE OF CHARGE and perfect for ALL AGES.

Celebrating natural resources and a healthy Grenada - these event is endorsed by the Grenada Health and Wellness Community Council, The City of Grenada, Mississippi and Grenada MS Tourism

The Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC), the nation’s longest running community science bird project, fuels Audubon’s work throughout the year. Occurring annually in over 2,500 locations across the Western Hemisphere, this winter marks the 120th CBC and we invite you join us for FCS’s 3rd Annual Christmas Bird Count.  

Like last year, this all-day count, hosted by our staff and friends of FCS will expand its range to our Lee Tartt Nature Preserve boundary.  Whether a novice or lifetime birder, the CBC is a great opportunity for all backgrounds to engage and learn our winter bird species, while highlighting the importance of community science projects for measuring long-term trends in species’ abundance through time. 

We will meet at the LTNP entrance sign as close to 6:30 am as possible. Coordination, camaraderie, and compilation will continue throughout the day.

This event is FREE and open to all ages and skill levels. NOTE: We will be in the elements for several hours hiking, so please dress and plan accordingly.
