The Friends of Richfield Heritage Preserve will offer two migratory bird hikes on Saturday, May 9, 2026, 7:00-9:00 a.m. and 9:30-11:30 a.m., at Richfield Heritage Preserve. Attendees will meet by the Summer Barn (4225 Oviatt Road park entrance). Professional birder Fred Dinkelbach will review some basic birding skills and then lead attendees on a 1-1/2 mile hike through the different park habitats. The hikes will be held rain or shine so dress for the weather. Suitable hiking footwear, insect repellant, binoculars, and a reusable water bottle are recommended.
While the event is free and open to the public, attendees are asked to RSVP via Eventbrite at: https://2026MigratoryBirdHike.eventbrite.com. Walk-ins, however, are always welcome.

Mill Docent Training - FREE for the Mill-Curious of all ages
Mill Docents are volunteers stationed near Kirby's Mill on Sundays, May through October from 2pm to 5 pm. They may work alone or with a buddy. Most people have never seen a mill with a turning water wheel. Docents give interested visitors a welcome and a short introduction. You do not have to be an expert! Although the session material is geared to adults and potential volunteers, interested kids and teens may attend with a responsible adult.
Training will take place on two different dates. It's your choice which one you would like to attend: either Saturday, May 9th at 4pm OR Sunday, May 17th at 5pm. Led by Friends of RHP Historian, Lynn Richardson.
The first part of the training is an introduction to the story of inventor Jim Kirby and his mill. The second part covers the logistics of being a docent. There is no obligation to volunteer afterwards!
Meet at KIrby's Mill. Dress for the weather and BRING A CAMP CHAIR.
IF you are already a trained docent you do not need to attend- but you are welcome if you want a "refresher". Let Calista know which days you would like to be at the mill.
