All activities are free, and registration is not required
Once again, the Missouri Department of Conservation has partnered with Great Rivers Greenway and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to present Eagle Days at the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. The event features two days of public eagle viewing from the bridge complete with spotting scopes, a live eagle presentation from World Bird Sanctuary, Lewis and Clark character reenactments, and other eagle-related activities.
Join us as we welcome back the Missouri falconers and their hunting partners! The evening will begin in the auditorium with a presentation on raptors and the art of falconry. Following the presentation, you will have an opportunity to “meet and greet” the birds and their hunting partners, and see some of the equipment used in the sport of falconry. Be sure to bring your cameras.
Just because the temperatures drop, doesn’t mean you have to stay inside! There are many fun activities to do during winter, like maple sugaring, hiking, camping, bird-watching, outdoor photography, and fishing to name a few. MDC and local partnering organizations will help uncover the many different outdoor activities you can do in winter, along with information about how animals weather the season as well. It’s a day your whole family will enjoy! All activities are free and no reservations are required. Handicapped parking only will be available on-site. All other parking will be off-site at Pond Elementary (17200 Manchester Rd) and the St. Louis Community College Wildwood campus (2645 Generations Dr.). Shuttle buses to the event will be provided, and food trucks will be available on-site. This is a rain or shine event, please dress for the weather.
