Bird Your Way! Accessible Birding

Birding is for everyone, no matter their experiences, abilities, or identities. There is no one way to bird.

For this outing, we will be slowing down. Instead of chasing birds, we will wait for them to come to us, as we observe the variety of habitats and look for signs of fall bird migration along the accessible Meadow Loop at BNRC’s Thomas & Palmer Brook reserve in Great Barrington.

Led by educator and naturalist Dave Edson, this event prioritizes anyone with mobility challenges and their loved ones, but everyone is welcome.

Trail Accessibility: The Meadow Loop was designed and built in 2020 to U.S. Forest Service Trail Accessibility Standards. The trail is approximately 0.5-mile of 6-foot-wide crushed stone surfacing with a running slope not exceeding 8% and cross slope not exceeding 5%.

Questions: If you have questions at any time, please ask. We’re here for you! Email Charlotte at Y2hvb2QgfCBibnJjICEgb3Jn.
