Description

Birdwatching for Beginners is an introductory outdoor program designed to teach you the fundamentals of identifying local bird species. The goal of this event is to provide newcomers with the skills and confidence to begin birding as a hobby while connecting with the natural environment.

During this session, we will embark on a gentle one mile walk through varied habitats to observe birds in their natural surroundings. Participants will learn practical identification techniques and explore how to contribute their observations to collaborative science projects. This hands on approach ensures that you gain real world experience while collecting data that aids researchers in tracking avian populations.

This program is perfect for ages eight and older who want to enjoy a relaxed and educational outdoor experience. The atmosphere is casual, supportive, and focused on learning through observation rather than academic lecture. Whether you are a nature enthusiast or just curious about the wildlife in your area, this walk offers a perfect entry point. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring your curiosity as we explore the outdoors together. Register today to join our community of citizen scientists.
