Birding for Life at Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary

This is our first walk of 2022, and there's no denying that it will probably be cold. But there will be plenty of birds and good company, so dress warmly and join us!

Watching birds can lead to greater human satisfaction, happiness, and health. By being aware of birds, we can also grow our ability to focus and to rest in the current moment, as well as grow our compassion and justice centered behaviors to help care for ourselves, others, and the planet. Birds, humans, and the earth are in trouble and with strong connections to the living community around us, we can save ourselves and all life.

This program aims to grow our ability to transform ourselves and our world by watching birds as an intentional mindfulness practice. This is enhanced by an emphasis on our relationships and connections to the humans who join us for the walk and the other species with whom we will interact.

This walk will be led by renown avian conservationist, Rev. Dr. LoraKim Joyner, who is a community minister at the local Community Unitarian Universalist Congregation at White Plains (http://www.cucwp.org) and Co-director of One Earth Conservation ( http://www.oneearthconservation.org)

To attend, please make reservations here as we want to limit group size due to Covid-19 and to be able to interact with one another and the birds. Bring comfortable walking shoes, binoculars if you have them, and water and nourishment as needed. Do not attend if you are ill. We will be observing social distancing.

We will meet in the Playland parking lot at the entrance to the Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary in Rye, NY. at 10 a.m. Check back here for any updates if we need to change plans due to the weather. If you can't find us or get lost, you can contact LoraKim at: +19143259574.
