SFVAS Young Birders Group

SFVAS Young Birders Group

A Young Birder is any young person who is interested in birding and nature, is curious, and is willing to learn. SFVAS conducts Young Birders Group walks to foster that learning, helping to create the next generation of birders and stewards of bird friendly habitat. The world needs birders, to watch, to identify, to count and to speak out for protection of habitat. It’s not work, though — it’s fun!

Our Young Birders meet on the last Sunday of each month on a rotating schedule of sites. We visit Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve, O’Melveny Park, Franklin Canyon Park, and more parks around the San Fernando Valley. Check our Calendar of Events for the next walk. Our youth leaders are Luisa Bergeron and Rebecca Marschall. They make a wonderful team! Do come and join us!! For more information, please email youngbirders@sfvaudubon.org.

Check out this year-end report by one of our youngest Young Birders. Gideon Aharon Kreiselman is a fourth grader (!) with a big future in birdwatching.
