2025-04-10T09:00:00Z 2025-04-10T12:00:00Z Outdoor Adventure Center - Active Aging Adventures Brunch and Learn: Pheasants of Detroit

During this monthly series for active aging adults, participants will have opportunities to meet our on-site educators, listen to guest presenters and take part in various natural resource-themed activities. All programs begin at 9 a.m. and include pastries, coffee and tea upon entry. At 9:30 a.m., presentations will begin, so sit back and enjoy your snack during an exciting and informative program, then wrap up with time to explore the OAC exhibits.

Ring-necked pheasants, typically known as a rural farmland species, are thriving in the open spaces of Detroit. A little human-pheasant subculture has developed in the city – pheasants are neighbors to human residents and muses to local artists – and pheasants have become the unofficial city bird of Detroit!

In April, join us for a documentary short about these fascinating birds and a walk at Milliken State Park to look for the resident ring-necked pheasants.

Preregistration is required. Cost is $8 per person; payment can be made for groups or individuals.
