The W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary is a unique wildlife center located in Southwest Michigan offering conservation-focused public programs, interpretive tours, and accessible trails that allow close views of captive and wild birds. Today, the Sanctuary serves an important role as a primary outreach arm of Michigan State University's W.K. Kellogg Biological Station. Highlights of the Sanctuary include a paved, three-quarter-mile accessible trail to Wintergreen Lake to see hundreds of waterfowl in their natural habitat, including trumpeter swans, Canada geese, and a variety of duck species; birds of prey enclosures featuring bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, eastern screech and great horned owls; native plantings in restored prairies and gardens; a large picnic area; nature- and bird-related gifts, toys and other locally made and fair trade items at the Sanctuary's Resource Center; and many miles of trails through varied habitats.
