Birding is an activity that can bring so much joy and empowerment to everybody, but not every body can go birding easily. Learn how this new non-profit uses education, outreach and advocacy to ensure the birding community and the outdoors are welcoming, inclusive, safe and accessible. Birdability strives to introduce birding to people with disabilities and supports people with mobility challenges, blindness or low vision, chronic illness, intellectual or developmental disabilities, mental illness, and those who are neurodivergent, deaf or hard of hearing, or who have other health concerns. Find out how you can become a more welcoming and inclusive birder, how to submit a site review for their Birdability Map and how you can support birders and future birders with accessibility challenges … because birding is for everybody and every body!
