In celebration of Black Birders Week, the Central Park Conservancy and NYC Bird Alliance invite you to a special guided birding tour through the North Woods—one of Central Park’s most scenic and ecologically diverse landscapes.

This guided tour explores the unique habitats of the North Woods while centering the knowledge, perspectives, and experiences of Black birders.

Birding is for everyone—we hope you'll join us for this inspiring walk through nature.
