During this presentation, participants will learn exactly who this “disabled” audience is and how to find people with mobility and other health challenges. They will learn what accessibility REALLY looks like and get instructions on using the amazing Birdability Map. They will learn the steps to implement Birdability in their locales and learn ways to be a more welcoming and inclusive birder.
Additionally, participants will learn about Adaptive Birding Equipment and Mindful Birding. What is Mindful Birding exactly and why is it so beneficial?
Come learn about Birdability and the ways in which birders with disabilities can access nature! Birding is for everybody!
The workshop will be held at FeatherFest headquarters. Access features include designated disabled parking, curb cuts, ramps, elevator, and accessible restrooms.
Birdability Founder Virginia Rose will also be guiding field trips for FeatherFest this year – For those who are registered for any of Virginia’s field trips, this workshop is included at no extra charge. Others are welcome and encouraged to register as well! To check out the Birdability field trips.
