With the spring migration right around the corner and winter birding in full swing, eight Michigan state parks have all the tools you need to enjoy this lifelong recreational pursuit.

“Explorer packs,” stuffed with tools and activities for outdoor learning, are now available to borrow at several state parks and recreation areas, including Bay City, Sleepy Hollow, Pinckney, Port Crescent, Wilderness, Warren Dunes, Tawas Point and Waterloo.

Sponsored by Project Learning Tree, these packs come with a compass, binoculars, Michigan species ID pamphlets, an activities guide and more.

To check out a pack, call the park to make arrangements or visit park headquarters (offseason) or the park contact station (summer season) when you arrive.
