Are you interested in learning more about the birds that live in and migrate through the Catskills? Join Molly Adams, founder of the Feminist Bird Club and co-author of Birding for a Better World, for a mindful birding event where we will spend time enjoying birds outdoors at the Mountain Top Arboretum. No experience is necessary, and this event is for both new and life-long birders alike. This two-hour event will include sitting in place and slowly moving through the West Meadow and/or Woodland Walk while we notice the birds around us. 

Please bring binoculars if you have them, or e-mail us if you need to borrow a pair. If you have a particular access need that you’d like to share with Molly before the event, please do so via email. Thanks!

The Feminist Bird Club was founded in NYC by Molly Adams in 2016 as a way to leverage both their passion for birds and their passion for social justice into a cohesive whole. Since then, the Feminist Bird Club has expanded to chapters across so-called North America and Europe.

Their goal is two-fold: Make birding and the outdoors inclusive and affirming to people who may not have safe access to it, and leverage people’s passion for the environment and social justice to help create lasting social change. More simply put: There is no reason why we can’t celebrate birds and support our most cherished beliefs in equity and justice at the same time. For us, it’s not either/or.
