Elmwood Historic Cemetery - December 13 - Birding with the Detroit Bird Alliance

Winter is a great time to get outside! Join the Detroit Bird Alliance and the Historic Elmwood Foundation for a birding walk at the cemetery. This casual walk is perfect for birders of all skill levels, including beginners, and those who just want to enjoy the scenery and learn a little bit about Elmwood's history. The tour begins at 9 a.m. Bring your own binoculars or Detroit Bird Alliance will have some on-hand to borrow. Warming refreshments served in the chapel after the walk.

To register, visit the Detroit Bird Alliance's Eventbrite.

Or perhaps, you would like to enjoy Elmwood on your own or with a group of friends. Each year, we are visited by those who choose to picnic alongside our restored pond, run or bicycle on our roads, watch for the migration of birds in Michigan, photograph our unique memorials, walk along our beautiful grounds appreciating our outdoor sculpture garden, the perennials, and majestic trees, or simply contemplate this quiet setting in the heart of Detroit.
