Tips for birding Hocking Woods Nature Center
At the Hocking Woods Nature Center, located at Hocking College, there are two ponds, a small ephemeral stream, and it is adjacent to the Hocking River. There are many trails to hike over acres and acres of forested unglaciated hills. The center actively feeds the birds, observations can be made from outside and through viewing windows inside. The nature center is operated by Hocking College and is mostly student-run, used as a training facility for natural resource students interested in developing their skills and knowledge in nature center operations.
