Wisconsin Nifty-Fifty. The Aldo Leopold Audubon Society. Green Circle Birding Trail: Home. The Green Circle Birding Trail The Green Circle is a 26-mile hiking and biking trail that loops around the Stevens Point area. Along its length, the trail meanders through a variety of central Wisconsin habitats, including sedge meadows, cattail marshes, deciduous and pine woodlands, prairies, oak savanna, and riparian areas. The path follows the banks of the Wisconsin and Plover Rivers, and provides access to McDill Pond and Lake Joanis.
The mixture of habitats make this trail an ideal place to see an incredible diversity of bird species, from waterfowl to raptors, from songbirds to woodpeckers. Stevens Point was named a Wisconsin "Bird City" in 2011. The Aldo Leopold Audubon Society of central Wisconsin (www.aldoleopoldaudubon.org) sponsored the development of a Green Circle Birding Trail.
