Birding While Black:
A Discussion to Promote Inclusivity
Challenges, Stories, and Situations of
Being a Birder of Color
Wednesday,
May 11, 2022
Virtual
Presentation @ 7:00 p.m.
Send email Request to
peoriaaudubon@gmail.com
to attend.
Join us for a special evening to discuss how we can be more
inclusive with the activity of birding. Recent events have
shown that there are special challenges for Black birders and other
birders of color. It doesn't seem right that some people can't
enjoy this hobby fully.
We will refresh our memories on the events that have led us to this
topic, discuss the challenges faced by non-white birders, and show a
few short videos of people who are on the front lines of this issue.
Finally, we will ask for ideas on how we and all birders and Audubon
members can make positive progress.

Challenges, Stories, and Situations of
Being an African-American Birder
Our overall goal is
increase awareness within the public while promoting inclusivity
among all of us.
