SUMMARY:A Gentle Walk with Birds & Nature
DESCRIPTION:(DC) (DC Bird Alliance) Join DC Bird Alliance for a very special bird walk in Rock Creek Park  that invites us to discover — or rediscover — what it means to be a birder. Together with Susan West Montgomery\, certified forest bathing guide\, we’ll slow down\, cultivate curiosity\, and experience birds and nature more fully. This walk blends gentle bird observation with the practice of forest bathing\, which invites participants to use all of their senses to take in the sights\, sounds\, and scents of the forest. We’ll move at a relaxed pace\, observe our surroundings\, and reflect. No prior birding experience is needed\, just openness and curiosity.

SUMMARY:Birdability: Birding CAN Change the World (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Natural History Society of Maryland) Virginia Rose was thrown from a horse at the age of 14\, resulting in paralysis. Then\, at the age of 44\, she discovered birding. It changed her life.  She founded Birdability with the vision that birding truly is for everybody and every body\, regardless of disabilities or other health concerns. Their mission is to ensure birding is accessible to everyone. \nIn this presentation by Birdability Executive Director\, Cat Fribley\, let’s discover how accessible birding can make a significant impact on individuals with access challenges and learn practical ways you can contribute to a more inclusive birding community.
