Birding and Wellness

In the midst of this unprecedented time, people are in need of daily practices to cope and to maintain their well-being. What would it look like if we used our interest in birds to reduce stress and anxiety and return to our senses in an effort to practice wellness? Join Bird Diva, Bridget Butler, for a presentation and discussion exploring how birding can boost our well-being and stave off stress and anxiety. After the discussion, we'll head outside to practice some breathing techniques and exercises for opening our awareness to birds.

One lucky attendant will win a birding backpack from the Rutland County Audubon Society including two pairs of binoculars, birding journal, bird identification guide, and list of Rutland County birding hotspots.
