We are so sorry to announce that the 14th annual Christmas is for the Birds is canceled due to the very cold weather and possible rain that is expected on Saturday, December 7, 2024. We are not rescheduling the event. We do hope to have the 15th annual next year.
Our apologies for the weather, from the Preservation Society Executive Committee.

This is a super-fun event for pre-school or elementary school children. Bring them to the Park Preserve where they make biodegradable bird feeders out of peanut butter and bird seed, then they hang the feeders in our forest. Yes, be prepared to get a bit messy.
- Some folks make their own feeder treats at home and bring them to hang on the trees.
- Biodegradable bird feeder ornaments must be hung with cotton yarn or string. The birds will use the string later for making their nests. Do not use metal, plastic, or fishing line for hangers. They are dangerous for birds and wildlife because they might ingest it and injure themselves. If you make bird feeder ornaments at home, please bring them to the park ready to hang.
- Some examples of biodegradable bird feeders:
- Pine cones coated in peanut butter and rolled in bird seed.
- Strings of fresh or dried berries. (Use cotton string.)
- Strings of non-buttered popcorn. (Use cotton string.)
