You are cordially invited to join us for a trip to Audubon's bird sanctuary in Spiritwood, ND!

Edward M. Brigham III Alkali Lake Sanctuary is a 2,300 acre sanctuary for birds and other wildlife that is cared for with a habitat management plan overseen by Audubon staff and supported in partnership with a local rancher. We will also be visiting Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge and meeting with the refuge manager at the Warbler Woodland Wildlife Watching Area. 

Basic information is below, though of course there is flexibility with personal preference to arrive when it works best for you and partake in the events/activities that you find most interesting.  

If you are interested in attending, please let us know so that we can have an idea of the headcount for providing beverages, snacks, and appropriate space for everyone.
