Join us for this FREE, family-friendly event that celebrates bird migration and addresses the challenges birds face during their bi-annual journeys. World Migratory Bird Day is a global initiative supported by Environment for the Americas, an organization that connects diverse people to birds and nature and inspires the next generation of conservationists to protect both. Participants for this event will have the opportunity to experience the magic of migration through bird tours, slow birding, short presentations, children’s activities, take-home activities, and live bird meet and greets.

Bring your friends, family, and aspiring bird nerds to celebrate with us!   

Partnering organizations include…

Sharon Energy and Environment Commission (SEEC)

Laurie Doss + student interns
