Morning Birding Details (Lake Fairfax Park)

• Meeting Spot: Main parking lot (near the restrooms and playgrounds)

• Address: 1400 Lake Fairfax Dr, Reston, VA 20190

• The Walk: We will walk a portion of the trail along the lakeshore, looking for waterfowl and other birds of interest.

• Trail Note: The trail includes both paved and unpaved sections. We highly recommend wearing closed-toed shoes.

Afternoon Board Game Details (NVBA HQ)

• Location: National Wildlife Federation Building (approx. 12 mins drive from the park)

• Address: 11100 Wildlife Center Dr suite 100, Reston, VA 20190

• Games: We will have multiple sets of Wingspan as well as bird-themed trivia and more!

• Refreshments: Light snacks and drinks will be provided. You are welcome to bring a festive treat to share!

Additional FAQs:

• Parking: Parking is free at both Lake Fairfax Park and the NVBA HQ.

• Metro: The closest Metro stop is Wiehle-Reston East (Silver Line). Please note that both locations are a sizeable walk from the Metro, so taking an Uber or bus from the stop is likely the easiest option.

We look forward to seeing you there!
