Our Ecotours are so popular, we’ve added sessions for next year! Come and explore the 2004 offerings.

A continued area of  focus will be on Birding Trips for 2004. The Blue Ridge Mountains and Clinch Valley region of Virginia have so many diverse bird habitats that it's just a natural place to come and look for rare species, unusually occurring species and a huge volume of bird species. For example, take the Virginia Creeper Trail. Starting at and elevation of appx. 3500 feet and descending to appx 1900 feet in Damascus over 17 miles, the trail encompasses several different eco-zones that attract a variety of different bird species depending on the elevation. The trail is accessible and easy to walk (or bike), the surroundings are beautiful and the birdlife is plentiful. Depending on which season you choose to bird, you can always find birds that will be of interest.

Day tours that will include canoeing on the Clinch River, hiking some of the most scenic trails around and biking to various destinations in the region will be scheduled too. Most of our day-trips are scheduled on Saturday, making it convenient for all participants.

We'll provide knowledgeable interpreters, modern equipment and an itinerary that will satisfy everybody's agenda weather it be learning about the environment, taking part in a "soft adventure" or just plain relaxing outdoors with a group of fun people who share a common interest.
