Birdability Event at Westcave Preserve on Sat. Oct. 24, 2020

Written By Virginia Rose







If you are anything like me, you are chomping at the bit to get outside in these GORGEOUS autumn days!

Westcave Preserve contacted me recently to check out their accessible trails. They are wonderful. Expect mostly natural surface, hard-packed dirt, nice, wide, crushed-granite and a short boardwalk. There is also a lovely shady overlook.

Travis Audubon and Westcave require all guests to socially distance and be masked at all times. Depending on the number of participants, we will get in two separate small  groups of 5 or fewer, including the leader, and groups will head in different directions.

This is a really cool, special outdoor space. I sure hope you can join me. Walking people may come, too, but I want to be sure those with mobility challenges get first dibs.🙂 

Westcave usually charges $20/person, but for this first-time event are charging $7.00/person or a suggested donation of $10-$20.

PARTICIPANTS MUST REGISTER. Call me to register or if you have any questions at 512-461-6920. Please try to come! Participants MUST register.

Virginia fell off a horse at the age of 14 which resulted in a spinal cord injury. A wheelchair user ever since, she began birding 17 years ago and discovered her best self in nature. She has led bird outings for Travis Audubon for seven years, and leads the accessible outings for the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival each year.

As a retired high school English teacher, she is passionate about bringing the same joy of birding and nature to others who have mobility or other accessibility challenges. Her infectious positive attitude is the force behind Birdability.
