Black Birders Week: Birds and Brews (MPJ Park)

Celebrate Black Birders Week 2024 (May 26-June 1)! 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.

Come bird as the sun sets behind the Manhattan skyline. After you can attend a free tour of the Brooklyn Brewery and receive a drink voucher. Learn about the connections between birds and beer, while making new connections with other Black Birders. All experience levels welcome!
