Mindful Birding in Cape May , NJ
The Nature Conservancy in New Jersey and New Jersey Audubon are co-hosting an inclusive birding outing and nature preserve tour as part of the celebration, on Wednesday, October 18 from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM. This event is open to people of all birding levels, from first-timers to pros.

Together at a leisurely pace, we will explore one mile of trail at the Garrett Family Preserve. While birding, will learn about the preserve’s history and habitat. At about halfway through the tour, we will gather at the shaded pavilion of the preserve to practice mindful birding for about 20 minutes. This practice aims to deeply engage with and enjoy the birds and nature around you. Feel free to bring a journal for nature journaling!
