Early Birders and Trees

Tacoma Tree Foundation is excited to welcome community artist Rachel Simmons alongside our partners Springtide Press, Tacoma Public Library, W. W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory, and Write 253 for this celebration of local birds! We’ll prelude FLOCK, the workshop, with a morning tree birding walk co-led by Jaala Smith (Tacoma Tree Foundation) and Sarah Low (Strategic Nature).
Flock to Wright Park and join us to learn about our local feathered friends and how they interact, depend on, and support our tree canopy.
We’ll spend the morning listening to calls, spotting flight patterns, and sharing community knowledge with each other. Wright Park is guaranteed to showcase our flashy local mallards and red-winged blackbirds. Around the trunks of bigleaf maples, we’ll spot dark-eyed juncos, robins, and if we’re patient, hopefully some of our beloved finches, sparrows, and corvids.
All birding levels welcome! No binoculars needed.
This event is supported by Tacoma Creates.
