Birding Basics
March 12, 2022 – March 13, 2022

Just in time for spring migration! Birding is one of the country’s fastest growing hobbies, and there is no place better to enjoy it in Brooklyn than Green-Wood! This two-part course teaches the why, where, how, and what of birding to the beginner.

The second session ends with a walk through the Cemetery, applying some of the lessons learned in the classroom.
