Accessibility for me: What makes a birding location truly accessible? Webinar, Birdability Week 2021

Accessibility For Me Instagram graphic wheelchair.png

A birding location opens a new boardwalk and describes it on their website as “accessible”… but when you arrive, you discover it really isn’t… To help you submit Birdability Site Reviews to the Birdability Map, and to help you know where to hold accessible and inclusive bird outings, as well as learn a few things you may never have considered, join Birdability Coordinator and occupational therapist Freya McGregor to learn what can make a birding location truly accessible. We’ll hear from special guests explaining what they need, and get ideas on trail design and upgrades you can advocate for in your community.

The presentation will last less than an hour, but we have included 90 minutes for this event to ensure there is plenty of time for questions.

Closed captions and an American Sign Language interpreter will be provided. This event is free and will be recorded and available on the Birdability website and YouTube channel. Donations to support Birdability’s work are appreciated; you can donate at birdability.org/donate

This event is being held in partnership with National Audubon. Register for this webinar here.
