Young Birders brings together youth grade 6 through grade 12/between the ages of 10-18—who have an interest in birding and conservation. Join us for a fun series of meetings, outdoor activities, and scientific monitoring efforts. Learn about the ecology and conservation of Washington’s birds from experts in the field! Young Birders is a great way for youth to explore Northwest ecology, gain naturalist skills, and make a positive contribution to the natural world.
Meetings
Monthly Meetings are held virtually from 6:00 – 7:15 pm, usually on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Field Experiences vary in time and location, and are usually held on the third Saturday of each month.
