Description
The American Museum of Science and Energy (AMSE) and the University of Tennessee Arboretum are partnering together to launch a new Citizen Science Birding Program to connect community members with hands-on science, local biodiversity, and ongoing conservation efforts. The program kicks off with a free guided bird walk at the UT Arboretum on Wednesday, October 15 at 8:00 am. Please meet at the kiosk outside of the UT Arboretum Visitors Center. This guided walk will be led by Corky Witt and Courtney Beard from the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge. The event is limited to 15 participants. Please wear comfortable shoes, bring hiking poles and binoculars if you wish. There will be a limited supply of loaner binoculars on a first come basis at the hike.
"Bird watching is now North America's second most popular outdoor activity (second only to gardening).” Says AMSE educator Corky Witt. “There must be something to it—so come out with us and find out why!”
