    Field Trips

    Field Trip Leader:

    Join Becky Fales to explore Dutch Gap Conservation Area in Chesterfield County, one of the best waterfowl viewing locations in Virginia.  The park is about an hour and a half from Charlottesville (consider carpooling), but well worth the drive if you enjoy ducks!

    • This field trip is free and open to all.
    • Meet at the main parking area for the Henricus Historical Park at 341 Henricus Park Road, Chester, VA 23836.
    • Birding will be along gravel trails and board walks. The terrain is mostly flat. Expect about 2 miles of hiking.
    • Restrooms are available on site (even in the winter).
    • Need more info? Contact the trip leader, Becky, at: (434) 960-1863.
    • Participants are invited to get lunch at a local restaurant after birding.
