Visit Glacial Heritage Preserve, open to the public just this one day of the year. It is a restored prairie that may now look much the way it was when Lewis and Clark arrived in the west. Once prairies were a predominate ecosystem stretching from British Columbia to California. Now about 3% of prairie habitat remains. On the 1,000 acre Preserve you can see a vast array of the plants and animals that are found on prairies. The celebration features a hayride, children's games, native plant identification workshops, educational booths, a 4 mile walking trail, early morning bird walk (weather permitting, up to 70 species of birds can be sighted).

Experience the beauty of North Central Washington at the 24th annual Leavenworth Spring Bird Fest from May 14–17, 2026. This year’s festival features over 30 expert-led field trips tailored for all skill levels—from canyon hikes to riparian walks—alongside a fascinating keynote presentation by raptor ecologist Dr. Neil Paprocki on the GPS-tracked movements of Red-tailed and Rough-legged Hawks. Attendees can explore the nature-inspired work of Spotlight Artist Carleen Ormbrek Zimmerman at the River Haus gallery, join the vibrant Community Fair on Saturday for live music and hands-on activities, and wrap up the day with the festive Birders’ BBQ on the Wenatchee River Institute lawn. Whether you're a seasoned birder or a curious newcomer, Bird Fest offers a unique opportunity to celebrate wildlife, conservation, and the peak of wildflower season in the heart of the Cascades.
