DARKE COUNTY — The Darke County Park District will be hosting a family fun day in celebration of both Earth Day and Trails Day on April 22 and 24. There will be several fun family activities scheduled throughout each day. Registration is required for this event.

Coffee with the Birds: April 22 at 8 a.m. at the Bish Discovery Center. Come enjoy some shade-grown coffee while learning about how songbird migration and coffee are deeply connected. Once we enjoy our brew, we’ll take a cup for the trail as we turn our eyes to the skies looking for the birds that benefit the most from shade-grown coffee, warblers!

Wildflowers of Coppess: April 22 at 1 p.m. at the Coppess Nature Sanctuary. Let’s spend the celebration of our beautiful planet wandering the trails of Coppess Nature Sanctuary enjoying the wildflowers in bloom.

Bird Walk: April 24 at 8 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. at the Bish Discovery Center. During this morning bird walk, we’ll enjoy the sights and sounds of spring as the spring migration is underway. Bring your binoculars and see what we can find!
