Join NYC Bird Alliance, Greenbelt Conservancy, and Pride Center of Staten Island for a Let's Go Birding Together walk. Let’s Go Birding Together walks welcome the LGBTQ+ community, allies, families, and anyone looking for a fun, inclusive birding experience. Come explore the Greenbelt’s 2,800 acres of parks, trails, and open spaces—whether you’re an experienced birder or just curious, come meet others who share a love for birds and the outdoors. Don’t forget to bring your water, snack, sunscreen, and insect repellent—and dress appropriately for the outdoors!

The group will meet infront of the Greenbelt Nature Center (700 Rockland Ave, Staten Island, NY, 10314). Free.
