2012 Audubon Hiking Schedule

FOR UPDATES: Listen to Island Messenger on KMXT-FM 100.1 at 9:00, noon and 5:00

The mission of Kodiak Audubon is to conserve Alaska’s natural ecosystems focusing on birds, other wildlife, and their habitats for the benefit and enjoyment of current and future generations.

The Kodiak Audubon Society invites you to join us for a stroll, a hike, or a climb! All hikes are free and open to the public. Meet your hike leader at 9:30 am in front of the Kodiak Island Convention & Visitors Bureau (Ferry Building) at the end of Center Avenue, downtown. The hike difficulty is rated from 1 (easy walk) to 5 (difficult) so you can select trips with a level of difficulty you can manage.
