Birds & Brews Take II! (7/14) (Free)

Join NYC Audubon, NY State Parks, and Outdoor Afro for a stroll in Marsha P. Johnson State Park, named after LGBTQ civil rights icon and trans woman of color, Marsha P. Johnson. Our first attempt last month during Black Birders Week was unfortunately rained out, but we're back for another try this summer! Overlooking the East River, this park provides great views of the city and of waterbirds off the coast.

The group will meet at The Blue Park House at Marsha P. Johnson State Park (90 Kent Ave, Brooklyn, New York). After the bird outing, participants are invited to attend a free tour of the nearby Brooklyn Brewery and receive one drink voucher. This event is for adults 18 and older, and only those who will have attended the bird outing can participate in the brewery visit. Registration required here. Free.

Note on Accessibility:

Marsha P. Johnson State Park contains paved paths on flat terrain and public restrooms. The park is accessible B32, B39, and B62 buses and the G and L train lines. There is no public parking inside of the park. Street parking is available in the surrounding neighborhood. For more information, please visit the New York State Parks Department's website.
