During July, the Urban Bird Project is joining Galería E.V.A. for their “Playing & Learning” Summer Camp with fun filled bird activities including guided birdwalks and bird art watercolor painting along the Confluence Park trail. The UBP team introduced proper binocular use and birding basics. As we walk, we share culturally significant stories of commonly seen species in the area while connecting ancestral knowledge specific to the Yanaguana region. Students are being taught how to ID birds and are learning about the ecological significance of water, animal, and land Relatives. Connecting youth to cultural identity through community and nature engagement has shown to have a positive effect on well-being. UBP is honored to partner Galería E.V.A. for this cause.
