Come and visit the W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary! The grounds are open during all four seasons!
Explore three miles of trails and experience a variety of habitats surrounding Wintergreen Lake, the heart of the Sanctuary grounds. Visitors will see a variety of birds that call the Sanctuary home, including our resident waterfowl, gamebirds and raptors. The Sanctuary is a great place for birding, nature photography or simply enjoying a walk outside. Pack a picnic lunch and spend the whole day!
The Sanctuary is located in Augusta, Michigan, 15 miles north of Kalamazoo and 12 miles north-west of Battle Creek.
Visitors are encouraged to dress for the weather and prepare for being outside. Pack a water bottle and refill at the drinking fountain near the Auditorium!
