Omaha outing planned for birders with disabilities
An activity that will seek to make birding an activity anyone can enjoy has been scheduled for an Omaha location, especially suited to those who utilize a wheelchair, rollator, or other mobility aid.
The Birdability outing will pay a visit to Lauritzen Gardens, and birders ranging from those with many years of experience to newbies may find it enjoyable. Wheelchair-accessible restroom facilities are on site, and advance registration has been requested to participate.
The participants will follow a route of about one and a half miles long, and it will be paved and mostly level. Benches and other stops will be set up, and before they head for home, the birders can spend some time at the site's visitor and education center. Both members and non-members of the Audubon Society of Omaha are welcome to register, and the outing will be led by Christen Jacobsen, who is the chapter's president.
Adapted workshops help to make a hobby open to everyone regardless of their physical, developmental, or cognitive abilities. Print shops will be able to lend a hand by preparing kits that are filled with promotional pens, basic guides, and other gear to help them get started.
This morning of adapted birding will begin at 9:00 am on May 7. Tickets for Audubon members are $10, while the general public is asked to pay $20.
