Guided Nature Walks: Birdability

About this event

Let's witness birds through stationary birding while celebrating Birdability Week, an annual celebration dedicated to birders with disabilities and/or other health concerns. It serves as an opportunity to share resources and ideas, fostering an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming birding community. Audience: This event is designed to be an accessible event. We welcome participants with disabilities, caretakers, families, and anyone who enjoys an inclusive nature event. Beginner birds are always welcome! This birding event will be facilitated by Outdoor Afro leader Nicole O'Neal. Access Considerations: Meet your guide for this program near the tram turnaround behind the Museum Experience Center. On this one-hour out-and-back stroll, we will travel between 0.75 and 1 miles, depending on the pace of our group. From the Museum Experience Center, we will stroll down a 0.10-mile paved hill, then join the partly-shaded paved, flat, 10-foot-wide Prairie Trail. Benches are available along the route at the bottom of the hill and at 0.2 miles. At the conclusion of the program, participants will have the option to continue along the Prairie Trail on their own or follow the same route back to the Museum Experience Center with the guide. This is a rain-or-shine program; please dress accordingly and bring comfort items as needed (e.g., sunscreen, hat, water). Restrooms are available in the Museum Experience Center and include accessible stalls. Please reach out to our Nature Engagement Specialist at morton@connerprairie.org if you would like to share or discuss ways we can support your access needs for this program. This Guided Nature Walk is free with general admission. Learn more about The Trails at Conner Prairie. This event is presented in collaboration with Indiana Audubon, whose mission is to engage communities in the enjoyment of birds in their habitats through conservation, education, and research.
