Join us for an exciting Birding event at the Jim Neville Marine Preserve! As part of our ongoing restoration project, we’re tracking changes in bird activity to see how our efforts are making a difference.

Look up to spot majestic bald eagles, great horned owls, frigates, ospreys, and more. Whether you’re an experienced birder or a curious newcomer, this is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a serene yet exhilarating morning of bird watching.

We have 20 kayaks available for volunteers, but we encourage bringing your own vessel. Come connect with nature and help us document the avian wonders of the preserve!

Know Before You Go :
– Your safety is our number one priority! Wear heavy closed-toed shoes that can get wet like sneakers, water shoes, or boots to protect your feet.
– Opt for clothing that covers your arms and legs to ensure comfort and protection.
– Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and reduce waste.
– Don’t forget essentials like sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat for sun protection.
– Use a dry bag to safeguard your valuables.
– Complete your online registration to secure your spot and stay informed about updates.

If you need to cancel your registration, please contact us ASAP!
That way we can offer your spot to another volunteer.
