Meeting Location:

Humboldt Park Fieldhouse and Parking Lot:

1440 N Humboldt Blvd, Chicago, IL 60647 - Near public transit, bike racks, and Free Parking!

The nature express bus will pick us up here at 8am and drive us to the Crabtree Nature Center for a behind the scenes look with Sammy Cabindol. Please bring a lunch with you or snacks to eat on the bus (but no eating is allowed in the nature center). The bus will drive us back to Humboldt at 12pm and will take about an hour to get back. You are welcome to drive yourself if necessary but we did receive a grant for this bus and hope to be able to fill it so that in future years the forest preserve is inclined to continue to partner with us in this way.

Loaner binoculars available to all.

Celebrate the joy of birding together as BIPOC folks while also enjoying and learning at the nature center.

For any questions or assistance to make this event more accessible to you please email us at chicagobipocbirders@gmail.com. Please only RSVP if you attend to come and cancel if your plans change in advance since we are taking the nature express bus it is important for us to account for each spot.

No pets permitted at the nature center.
