Get ready to learn about birding in Central Texas with birding expert Jane Tillman! We will keep our eyes and ears open for local birds as we learn how to use and what to look for in a pair of binoculars, and how to use the birding app Merlin. We will explore ways to attract birds to our neighborhoods by providing native plants, water, shelter and places to raise young. Jane is an active member of the Travis Audubon Society. She teaches backyard birding classes and gives talks about Central Texas birds and gardening for birds to garden clubs, neighborhood associations and libraries. She has a Best of Texas Backyard Wildlife Habitat. Jane is a Master Birder, an amateur naturalist, and teacher for the Native Plant Society of Texas Native Landscape Certification Program

This event is organized in partnership with the Refugee Collective and generously funded in part by a grant from the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience (ICSC). The Refugee Collective employs refugees and immigrants in fair-wage, dignified work through two social enterprises: a textile manufacturing studio and an organic farm. ICSC is a global network of historic sites and museums that empowers communities to share stories of past trauma to prevent conflicts and human rights abuses today.
