Why Young People Need To Go Birding
Birding is a great way to get the young people to enjoy the environment around them.
From building critical observation skills, patience, and focus to connecting with nature and the outdoors, birding is an often overlooked but amazingly rewarding hobby. A year-round activity, birding is an excellent family activity that will bring rewards for years to come.
Here are just a few of the many reasons for young people to start birding.
