I began biking around 10 years old when a neighbor introduced me to it. I enjoyed the freedom of being able to ride around the neighborhood.

As you join in our Big Year of Birds, we hope you’re getting excited about birds and bird-watching both in the parks and throughout the region. Whether you’re a new birder or a seasoned birder, it’s important to take care of these creatures we share space with. The main things to remember when birding are: respect the birds; respect their habitat; and respect other people who are using the area. Doing this helps make birds feel safe so that they will continue to live in and visit our parks for years to come.
