The berm also created a 1.5 mile walking trail providing a great location to enjoy bird watching along the waterfront. Join Joe Meche\, for a Sunday morning stroll along the new Birch Bay Berm to the mouth of Terrell Creek and back to the starting point at CJ’s. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nSponsored by Dave Hiller\, ExP Realtor
