Feminist Birding Workshop: Feminism, Birding & Unexpected Models for Community Based Change

Sunday, October 16th, 10am-1pm

Free

Bring your binoculars, notebooks, and cameras to this active workshop exploring the feminist origins of popular birding and the impact of birding, in turn, on how we civically engage to enact change. We’ll start at the WCCW with a little history and then head out to the LA River where we’ll walk, observe, and periodically stop and talk about unexpected models for community based change, beginning with the relationship between the simple act of enjoying birds and the environmental conservation movement, and including contemporary examples from across Los Angeles. Participants will be encouraged to develop their own ideas for unexpected civic engagement projects and outline plans to make them a reality by the end of the workshop. They’ll also, hopefully, have a great record of birds sighted along the way!

Please bring:
* Water & snacks
* Sunscreen
* Walking shoes
* Hat
* Notebook & pen or pencil
* Camera
* Binoculars
* & download the iNaturalist app onto your phone
