Audubon Society
The National Audubon Society sponsors Birdability.
“Please explore this website, where you can find ways to connect with other birders who experience accessibility challenges, as well as helpful links and resources. We invite you to add a Birdability Review to the Birdability Map, and complete the Birdability Birders’ Survey 2020 if you experience accessibility challenges while birding (check out more information below). We hope you’ll watch, listen and learn more about Birdability, what an accessible trail really is, and the steps you can take to make birding more inclusive for everybody! We look forward to birding with you!”
