Birding for Beauty
Social Justice & Environmental Conservation Organization
"'Hope' is the thing with feathers" - Emily Dickinson
OUR MISSION
Welcome!
Birding for Beauty is an organization committed to progressive education around topics of science and its enmeshment with social justice and inclusivity. We believe that birding should be an accessible activity that fosters belonging, community, and inspires people’s passions about conserving the natural world.
Birding for Beauty offers a 12–week curriculum designed for elementary school students in the hopes of empowering youth voices and cultivating within them a love of birding, science, and conservation. In addition, our organization is committed to the belief that learning should be organic and non-hierarchical. Thus, we publish poetry, prose pieces, photography, and art related to science/field work/birding from those in our community. We hope to spotlight youth voices but accept submissions from any age, anywhere in the world.
Ultimately, through our interdisciplinary approach to birding and scientific thought, we seek to expand the scope (no pun intended!) to see beyond the traditional images of birding practice and who are considered birders.
