The City of Galt is hosting its 2nd Annual Winter Bird Festival, Saturday January 17, 2009 at the McCaffrey Middle School facility located in Galt. We were so thrilled with the response we received from our 1st year event that we are excited to offer another quality event again this year.
The purpose of this event is to advance public awareness and conservation of the regions wildlife. Sandhill Cranes, Canadian Geese, Tundra Swans, pintails, and hundreds of other birds call Galt and its surrounding cities home. The Winter Bird Festival will offer the community a chance to spend time discovering, learning, and educating themselves on the importance of these feathered creatures as well as the wetlands, agriculture, and open space which are all crucial to their survival.
The festival’s events will include a variety of specialized tours to the Cosumnes River Preserve, a Children’s Art Gallery showcasing Galt Elementary School children’s drawings of migratory and resident winter birds, performances and live entertainment, workshops, guest speakers, local food vendors and much more.
