Birds & Belonging: A Walk with Philly Queer Birders
Birds, community, and spring vibes abound. Join us as Natural Lands teams up with Philly Queer Birders for an inclusive, all-levels bird walk at Hildacy Preserve.
This relaxed outing welcomes LGBTQIA+ folks and allies to enjoy spring migration, learn about local birds, and connect with community in a supportive outdoor space.
No birding experience required—just curiosity and a love of being outside.
About our partners: Philly Queer Birders, founded in March 2021, is a monthly group that builds LGBTQIA+ community through birding while exploring Philadelphia’s parks and natural spaces, plus surrounding areas. The group welcomes all skill levels, emphasizes accessibility and inclusivity, and centers queer experiences, offering a fun, supportive environment for anyone who appreciates birds.
The songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, and shorebirds—about 300 recorded species—that rely on habitats under Natural Lands care are not just beautiful but also essential to the health of our planet. What’s more, they are environmental indicators, warning us of climate shifts and other ecosystem changes.
