    Join us for a morning of birding and exploration in support of our scholarship fund!

    ASLA Georgia has partnered with Birds Georgia to host a guided walk through the beautiful grounds of Polo Golf & Country Club in Cumming, Georgia. With its mix of habitats that provide shelter, water, and food, the course attracts a wide variety of bird species—especially during migration season—making it an exciting spot for birdwatchers of all levels.

    This program is ideal for beginning birders as well as those seeking a relaxed stroll on gentle terrain. Please come prepared for the weather and for walking on unpaved, uneven trails. We encourage participants to bring water, field guides, and binoculars—but don’t worry if you don’t have a pair, we’ll have some to share so everyone can join in the fun. Once the walk begins, all participants must remain with the group for the duration of the program.

    Space is limited to 30 participants, and each guest will receive a special takeaway at the end of the walk.



    Thank you WLA Studio for sponsoring this year's Bird Watching!

    Instructor Bios

    Brad E. Davis is the MLA Program Coordinator and the Dan B. Franklin Distinguished Professor for UGA’s College of Environment and Design. He co-authored Plants in Design, along with David Nichols, translating his passion for plants knowledge into a staple reference book for practicing landscape architects in the south.  Brad teaches design studios on community master planning and conservation neighborhood design, healing gardens and health design, and courses in plein air drawing and watercolor. In an effort to provide landscape architecture students with hands-on drawing and painting experience, Brad began teaching a field drawing and watercolor class on Jekyll Island in 2011. This year marked his 10 th class in coastal Georgia. Brad also taught a summer course in 2012 as part of the UGA Cortona program, where he and his students painted Tuscan landscapes.

    When not teaching, Davis can be found tending his own experimental garden and small farm, spending time with family, or standing at an easel painting the landscape. 

    Cameron Berglund is a lecturer at UGA’s College of Environment and Design.  Throughout his work, his emphasis on empowerment and education has led him through a diverse range of opportunities. His experience as a domestic and international educator range from professional creative and design workshops, to curriculum design and instruction in Uganda, and the creation and facilitation of Graduate and Undergraduate design classes at the University of Georgia. Throughout these experiences, Cameron’s passion for design and artistic expression and strong skillset enables students to engage their enthusiasm and grow their knowledge. 

    During the academic year, Cameron leads AthSketch, a group of urban sketchers that meets weekly to explore areas on and around campus. Through AthSketch, Cameron helps students foster and enjoy the process of sketching on location. Cameron is not only an educator, but a designer, an illustrator, and artist.
