The Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation (JDCF) and University of Illinois Extension 4-H Youth Program are excited to announce a birding basics workshop for anyone ages 8-18. The event will take place at JDCF’s Schurmeier Teaching Forest, 147 E Reusch Rd, Elizabeth, on April 20 from 9-10:30 AM. The event is free, and participants do not need to be a member of 4-H to attend.
This workshop is a great introduction to the world of birding. From proper binocular use to learning key features and behaviors of different bird species, participants will leave the event ready to discover what birds can be found around them. Participants should bring their own binoculars, if they have them, however there will be binoculars available for all. Registration requested through the Extension at 815-858-2273 or click here. Registration deadline is April 13. Limited space available.
