Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Fill in the birding sign-up form for an outing on the program page. First-time participants then hear from the team about waivers and paperwork..
Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Outings are group walks on park and nature trails, mostly on weekend mornings. Before your first outing you sign the waivers and paperwork, and the team contacts you after you register. The pages do not list the fee or how long a walk lasts, so ask when you sign up.
Tips for your first visit
- Register for each outing on its own, since some park outings need a second sign-up with the partner site.
- Ask where to meet, because some outings send the meeting spot by email after you register.
- Bring sun protection and bug spray, since some sites have little shade and at least one can be buggy.
- If you use a manual wheelchair and the trail has steep sections, plan on a helper, as the group advises for one site.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Any member of the public can register for an outing through a form, and the page explains the first-time paperwork. It does not say beginners are welcome, and space is limited..
