Description

Join NYC Audubon's Young Conservationist Council member, Efua Peterson, along the trails of Flushing Meadows Corona Park and see sparrows, finches, ducks, wading birds, and more. Beginning birders are more than welcome!

 

The group will meet at the Mauro Playground, located at Park Drive East and 73rd Terrace. Registration not required but encouraged. No Limit. Free.

 

In case you're wondering how to become a Young Conservationist, a donation of $25 will earn you a Young Conservationist level membership with NYC Audubon. Young Conservationist is a membership level for nature lovers ages 18-35. Membership gives you discounts on most trips and classes and invitations to special YC member events, while also supporting NYC Audubon's conservation, advocacy, and engagement efforts throughout the City's five boroughs.

 

Accessibility and Directions:

This outing follows both paved and unpaved paths and may require navigating some slightly muddy areas and somewhat uneven terrain. (The path goes through some wet areas, which have been made navigable by placement of stepping stones and short board-walks). Please note that restrooms are NOT available on site. Nearby transit stops to the Pat Dolan Trail entrance include the Q20A, Q20B, and Q64 buses. Street parking may be available along Park Drive East.
