Birding with Pride with FOW and Philly Queer Birders

June 29 @ 8:30 am - 10:30 am

Meeting at Northwestern Avenue & Forbidden Drive (see map here)
There is plenty of parking in the Northwestern Avenue Parking Area near our meeting location.
There will be porta potties available for use at our meeting location.
Come celebrate Pride Month in the Wissahickon with a morning of birdwatching and community building! Join Friends of the Wissahickon and Philly Queer Birders for a gentle hike along Forbidden Drive as we keep our eyes and ears out for birds spending the summer in the park.
Philly Queer Birders formed in 2021 to build queer community through birding and to create welcoming, inclusive, and accessible LGBTQIA+ spaces in the outdoors. Birders of all levels and life experiences are welcome!
We’ll be sticking to Forbidden Drive, a wide and mostly flat gravel trail, and moving at a relaxed pace. Bring binoculars if you have them, or let us know you’d like to borrow a pair here.
Distance: 2-3 miles
Level: Easy (flat walking)
Registration is required for all hikes so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations. 
Unless otherwise specified, guided hikes may be on rocky, rugged trails that may be wet and slippery. Wear sturdy shoes or boots with socks. Walks are cancelled in heavy rain. Service animals are always welcome. For more information contact Marisa Miller at miller@fow.org. Visit www.fow.org for updates.
