Introducing the Birdability Captains Conservation Corps!
Birdability is excited to announce the launch of the Birdability Captains Conservation Corps (BC3), a new initiative aimed at professionals working in conservation, park management, nature preserves, arboretums, land trusts, and other public lands, as well as bird and other wildlife organizations. This program is designed to create a community of practice dedicated to enhancing accessible and inclusive birding opportunities and infrastructure.
The Birdability Captains Conservation Corps will bring together a diverse group of professionals committed to making the great outdoors more accessible and welcoming for folks with disabilities. By joining the Corps, you will have the opportunity to connect with others who share your passion for conservation and accessibility, learn from one another, and collaboratively work to create more inclusive spaces.
