What we’re about
This is a free group for adults that are looking for opportunities to learn new skills in a welcoming and inclusive environment. This group will focus on offering/hosting/sharing events related to nature and the outdoors and teaching hands-on skills. All are welcome!
This group is all about learning new skills in a welcoming and safe community! A few topics that are the focus of the upcoming event include biking/bike maintenance, food preservation/canning, yoga/meditation, and hiking. If there is a topic you want to learn more about, please share it with me and I can see if the Education Department at Osprey Wilds is able to provide a class for us!
Who should join this group: Any adult or group that is interested in learning more about the outdoor and looking to build their skills!
Any dues or fees you plan to charge members: No fees to be a member of this group, but some events will have fees to cover the cost.
This group is associated with Osprey Wilds Environmental Learning Center. We will be sharing their learning opportunities when appropriate, but we encourage group members to share ideas and topics for events.

In Minnesota climate endangered birds include the golden eagle, American three-toed woodpecker, black-throated blue warbler, yellow-headed blackbird and many others.
Urban Bird Collective founder and Executive Director & Saint Paul Bird Alliance board member Monica Bryand worked on a special project through National and Minnesota Audubon to capture through photos these 166 species. It is a work in progress but she currently has over 158 and will share her photos and some of her stories of her travels along with why she is so passionate about working to protect the environment for people and the birds. She will also share many of the birding hotspots around MN.Monica is a Latina birder/photographer that focuses on mainly urban birds but manages to travel up north and across the state to find special feathered friends.
