Spring Bird Festival |
|
May 16-18, 2008 |
| The Leavenworth Spring Bird Fest provides
educational and recreational activities focusing on birds, wildlife, and their
environments. This annual event promotes the awareness of environmental and
conservation issues surrounding the area's birds, while providing an economic
and educational benefit to the community. This event connects with International
Migratory Bird Day and includes a multi-cultural aspect linked to Latin American
countries. The heart of the festival is to have fun through bird education
with-and-for families, locals, and visitors, yet the event also has a scientific
quality of gathering important birding data. |
