Celebrate the many birds of the St. Croix Valley at the Hastings Area Birding Festival. Whether you’re an experienced birder or can’t tell a robin from a chickadee, this is the perfect opportunity to learn about the birds in your backyard and in the St. Croix Valley region. Some of the highlights include an “Introduction to Birding” class, a “Raptors 101” class, bird banding demonstrations, and guided bird trips in the Hastings area. This is the fifth year the Hastings Environmental Protectors has teamed up with CNC for the Birding Festival.
