Black Birders Week: Beginner Birding (MPJ Park)

Celebrate Black Birders Week 2026 (May 24-May 30)! Black Birders Week was created in 2020 by the BlackAFinSTEM Collective to celebrate and highlight Black birders, scientists, naturalists, and outdoor enthusiasts who deserve to enjoy their time in nature without fear of harassment.

Join us for a morning of birding during this beginner-friendly bird walk led by our NYS Parks educators. All ages welcome!

In collaboration with the organizations Black AF In STEM and NYC Audubon, join the NYS Parks’ New York City team in celebrating Black Birders Week 2025! Let’s support budding Black birders, expert Black birders, and all birders and wanna be birders in between!

All programs are free and materials are provided.
