About The Event
Join TRC as we paddle the Paw Paw River to enjoy some time on the river while also looking for prothonotary warblers. TRC has installed several nest boxes on the river to help this floodplain forest indicator species. These beautiful warblers are helping us understand the health of our floodplain forest along the Paw Paw River. This section of the river is rated as beginner but with the low water conditions may pose some challenges. A personal floatation device (PFD) is required for everyone’s safety. TRC does not have boats to rent. Please bring your own boat and we will provide a shuttle to the take-out.
