Get ready for another session of the North Platte Birding Club! The North Platte Birding Club creates community and celebrates the ecosystem of the North Platte River Valley, the river that gives life throughout the Nebraska Panhandle. We will meet bi-weekly during the summer, choosing a unique birding location along the river valley each time. To foster a sense of community, we will start each outing with food, beverages, and connection for participants. This Club is meant for birders of all levels; Bird Conservancy will provide mentorship to new birders and encourage the sharing of knowledge among all participants. Outings will vary from traditional bird walks to stationary birding, depending on the interests and needs of participants. These walks are free, but registration is required. Binoculars and field guides will be available to borrow. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared to be outside for up to the duration of the program. The North Platte Birding Club will be gathering at the Scotts Bluff National Monument Visitors Center, 190276 Old Oregon Trail, Gering, NE 69341. For more information email noelle.grunwald@birdconservancy.org Our community of practice is to be an organization that welcomes people of all backgrounds and abilities, regardless of how one identifies, to join in, benefit from, and contribute to our mission.
