North Branch Nature Center

North Branch Nature Center is celebrating @birdability Week with a day of accessible birding on Saturday, October 24! Birdability Week (October 19 - 25) is a celebration of birders with disabilities and other health concerns, and an opportunity to share resources and ideas to help the birding community become accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to everybody.

The event at NBNC will include guided bird outings along the Universal Access Trail and meadow trail, and a guided stationary bird watch (a little “Big Sit”). Inside the Nature Center building, check out the bird feeders and learn more about NBNC, @vermontlandtrust, Birdability, @fbc.nvt, and other organizations providing accessible outings and trails and advocating for inclusive birding. Binoculars will also be available for birdwatching, and snacks and cider will be available thanks to a donation by Hunger Mountain Co-op!

♿Accessibility info: The NBNC library will be reserved as a quiet space. Masking is welcomed and extra masks will be available at the door. There will be additional accessible parking spaces for this event. ASL interpretation for bird walks and the Big Sit provided by @vancroiis and donated by @vtcil.
