Birds Bring Communities Together

Once a month, September through May, Audubon educators team with the Providence Urban Wildlife Conservation Partnership and head to parks around Providence for a community birding excursion. Free and welcoming to all, these walks bring together diverse individuals and communities with a common interest: birds.

Whether held at India Point Park, the North Burial Ground, Roger Williams Park or other city destinations, these outings bring community engagement, education on bird and habitat conservation, some healthy exercise, and tons of enthusiasm. The program began in 2018 as part of the US Fish and Wildlife Urban Bird Treaty Program. And in 2019, Providence was designated a Bird Treaty City.

Bird walks will start again in September. Watch Audubon social media posts for details and locations.

Audubon is fortunate to have partners that support this program and encourage community birding. We thank US Fish and Wildlife, the Providence Urban Wildlife Conservation Partnership, Providence Parks Department, Swan Point Cemetery, North Burial Ground, Roger Williams Botanical Center, and many “Friends” groups of community parks in the city.
