Audubon Wyoming’s Brownbag Birding takes place most Thursdays at the Audubon Center at Garden Creek. Bring a lunch and binoculars if you have them to enjoy all that nature has to offer in a casual setting. This free program is open to the public, although an RSVP is encouraged.

The Audubon Center at Garden Creek was created in 1998. Located at the base of Casper Mountain, the Center is a quiet peace of serenity on nearly 450 acres of open space and just minutes from town. The Audubon Center at Garden Creek includes the Garden Creek riparian zone, unique upland habitats, and a relaxing nature trail. The public can enjoy a variety of birds and other wildlife from the outdoor benches or from the comforts of the visitor center.

Teachers and mentors can lead field trips to the Audubon Center at Garden Creek. Outings can also be scheduled with expert volunteers or an Audubon Wyoming Community Naturalist. Custom programming can always be arranged, or you can choose one of our current programming titles.
