The Urban Bird Collective was founded in 2018 to support birdwatchers of all different skill levels in leading walks in our own neighborhoods. We are working to create safe and welcoming spaces for all communities to come out and explore birding and the outdoors.
These communities include Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and the LGBTQ Communities and more. We want all communities to feel the benefits of being out in natural green spaces in our various Twin City neighborhoods and beyond. We are passionate about birdwatching and the protection of the environment. We are here to support you in developing your birding skills while we continue to improve our own.
Why are you a part of the Collective? I have been birding for almost 20 years and have always wanted more BIPOC folks and LGBT folks in the birding world, joining me on walks and building a more diverse, inclusive birding community. Sometimes we have to build new systems to ensure BIPOC folks feel safe. I love sharing my passion for birding with others.
