Nicolet National Forest Bird Survey

Join Us for the Bird Survey

This year’s Nicolet National Forest Bird Survey will be held on the weekend of June 5-7 in the Lakewood-Laona (southern Nicolet) District of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Headquarters will be at our usual site, the LeFeber Northwoods Camp on Hardwood Lake, approximately 9 miles northwest of Wabeno. Lodging in dormitories and Saturday dinner will be provided free of charge for volunteers. Anyone interested in birds and conservation is encouraged to participate. Volunteers work in teams to sample birds at permanent points representing the major habitat types within the eastern Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. For the first time, special sets of easy-access sites will be established for birders who are not able to walk long distances or through difficult terrain. Online registration is now available through 3 June 2015 at 5:00 pm. You can also register by phone if you do not have internet access by calling Erin Giese at 615-403-6000. If you decide to come at the last minute - just show up and we will find a place for you!
