The Birder Experience: Now and Tomorrow
Presented by Helena S.
Date: Sunday, May 9
Time: 3:30 PM EDT
Registration required
Everyday, we see evidence that systemic social justice is needed now more than ever before. But more importantly, we see evidence that there are strong forces working hard to counter injustice. Luckily, more conversations about things like race, identity, sexual orientation, and ability are becoming more common in schools and in the workplace. However, conversations about social justice should extend beyond streets of protesters, presidential debate stages, and work/school diversity workshops. They should extend to our daily lives and hobbies (like birding!). “The Birder Experience: Now and Tomorrow” will show birders how to make more diverse, equitable, and inclusive birding spaces so every birder from every background can spread his/her/their wings and become fully immersed in the wonders and joys of birding.

Nothing is inconsequential in this world, for better or for worse. Life is a series of choices - and we have to choose to defend the Earth. Drawing on both her personal experiences and the wisdom of well-known writers and conservationists, Kaylee delivers a heartfelt message designed to inspire nature lovers of all ages.
* A note about this presentation: Kaylee first delivered this presentation during BSBO's Ohio Young Birders Conference in 2019, and it was SO INCREDIBLE that we just knew we had to share it with a wider audience!
