Hungry Mother State Park is hosting a new birding festival. Life's Extras Birding Celebration will honor the life of long-time volunteer and Virginia Master Naturalist Randy Smith. It will be held annually the first weekend in May.

Master Naturalist Kelly Roach encourages you to embrace winter on the trail, challenging you to look for color along the way. Learn what evergreen plants to look for, what marcescence is, colorful birds you may see and why the sky is bluer in winter.

Machicomoco State Park provides the perfect location for birding. AmeriCorps member Grayson Nelson shares his experience seeing birds and their nests in unexpected places at the park.

Warblers, colorful songbirds.

Look for the pink blooms of the Eastern Redbud that help welcome spring.

Mason Neck State Park offers winter birding at its best.

The new Sensory Explorers' Trail at Sky Meadows State Park is full of learning opportunities and enjoyment for all park visitors, with special adaptations for the visually, hearing and mobility impaired visitors.

Fire can be devastating but when managing the natural resources in our Virginia State Parks it is a helpful tool.

During winter migration, Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park are a bird-watchers dream.
