Description

Looking to get outdoors in a new way? Searching for a fun and rewarding pastime? We hope you join us for a little Birding for Beginners with Ceal Craig, Ph.D., a 20-year volunteer for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. We are excited to host a presentation, followed by a small birding stroll along the New Chicago Marsh Trail at the Alviso Unit of the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The trail is ADA Accessible and suitable for anyone with mobility limitations. This event is geared toward all ages but will be most enjoyable for those ages eight and up. Extra Considerations and Accommodations: - The program will be entirely outdoors; masks will not be required but are highly encouraged. - We expect the weather to be variable, so we encourage everyone to wear sun protection like sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses! We also encourage you to wear comfortable and breathable clothes that are good for exploring the trails and bring layers in case it gets a bit windy. We want everyone to feel comfortable and have fun! - Please make sure to bring water with you and snacks if you need them. If you plan on staying after the program for lunch, picnic tables and benches will be available for you to enjoy packed lunches. Bonus points if you can bring a reusable water bottle; a refill station will be available. - ADA-compliant parking spaces, trails, and restrooms are available on-site. - Restrooms will be available on-site in the form of an ADA-compliant portable toilet and hand-washing station. If you need any additional accommodations or have any questions, please email us at [email protected], and we will do our best to respond to all requests. This program is brought to you by the San Francisco Bay Wildlife Society (SFBWS)and the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (SCVURPPP).
