This spring, we’re rising the accessibility of our birding packages with Accessible Beginner Birding at Gilsland Farm. If you’ve been uncertain about becoming a member of a fowl walk prior to now, that is the one for you! Once a month, beginning on March 9, we are going to meet for an outing meant to be extra accessible to extra folks, with much less emphasis on walking, standing, and utilizing binoculars. We will walk a sluggish loop across the buildings right here, stopping solely in places the place there are locations to take a seat, and focusing a bit extra on birding by ear.
The total walk, proven within the picture above, will probably be roughly 900 ft, or lower than two-tenths of a mile. We will begin on the car parking zone, the place there are van-accessible parking spots, and proceed across the buildings with frequent stops. There are benches or picnic tables at the entire locations we are going to cease, so we will sit or relaxation to watch the fowl feeder stations and look out throughout the pond and meadow. The route is generally hard-packed gravel pathways and compacted garden with brief grass, however we will stick with the hard-gravel and paved pathways closest to the buildings if that’s higher for anyone. A extra wheelchair-accessible loop is feasible connecting by way of the building, however in any other case we will probably be outdoors the entire time. There are accessible loos within the building and an accessible out of doors bathroom close to the car parking zone.
These outings are freed from cost to all, as normal, and registration shouldn’t be required. We could have binoculars and monoculars to borrow, however may also concentrate on birding with out optics. Spring is the very best time to fowl by ear, and we will probably be listening for the various species which are vocalizing this time of yr. Come be part of us this spring for Accessible Beginner Birding!
