Do you like to bird? Are you bird-curious? Do you love bird song? Wonderful!
Duxbury, Vermont
This group celebrates coming together and a love of birds. We intend to create and hold an inclusive space for cis & trans women and femme non-binary community members. Whether you're a first time or an experienced birder, our purpose is to create a safe place to come together and share in our mutual love for nature and birds. This is an LGBTQIA++ affirming group.
We will gather at the Pratt Refuge in Duxbury VT, 2139 Ward Hill Rd, Duxbury.
This event is co-hosted by Audubon Vermont, the Pride Center of Vermont, Glow VT, Women Owning Woodlands Vermont, and Vermont Land Trust!
There will be binoculars and bird guides to borrow and we will send and email about the conditions before hand. Please plan to dress appropriately for the weather. Layers are helpful!
Tickets and Cost: There is limited parking: only 10 cars are able to be parked at this location, so we are asking for you to please carpool! There are only 10 tickets available due to limited parking. If you have a car load of 4 people and all 4 are able to pay, please add an additional contribution to make the total ticket $40. We are asking those who are able to please purchase a "Full Cost Car Load" ticket ($10 per person). Please consider choosing the "No Cost Ticket" if you are a member of the BIPOC community, a young person in school, unemployed or underemployed, an AmeriCorps Member, or purchasing a ticket feels like a burden on your resources.
If you are able to give more, please consider an additional donation of an amount that feels generous. This helps cover the costs of those who are not able to pay, so all in our community have the opportunity to participate. This also supports Audubon Vermont and the work we do to protect birds and the places they need now and in the future!
All ages welcome! Youth under 18 years should be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and bring snacks and plenty of water! Service dogs welcome, but please leave your pets at home - they scare away the birds.
Why is Audubon hosting this program just for women, agender/multi-gender/non-binary and women-aligned people? Audubon Vermont is committed to providing opportunities for access to the outdoors for all in a safe and inclusive environment. We know that when we create intentional opportunities for specific groups to participate in outdoor activities, they show up. This means that we can support our entire community of conservationists and outdoor recreation enthusiasts and help more people find their place in the great outdoors. To preserve the birds, wildlife, and habitats they need to survive, we need all hands-on deck.
