Winter in New York City means crisp air, shorter days, and a prime opportunity to explore the city's diverse bird population. The NYC Bird Alliance, with its team of expert guides, is offering a full lineup of guided birding tours and educational programs. This ensures a high-quality experience for seasoned birders and beginners alike, allowing them to observe wintering species in a unique way and learn from the best in the field.
For those interested in virtual learning, the free "Intro to Birding Webinar” with Tod Winston on Feb. 26 offers a beginner-friendly introduction. On Mar. 5, "Indigenous Stewards of North America's Bird Nursery” examines Indigenous communities' deep-rooted connections to avian conservation.

This is part of our larger green corridor that today encompasses over 50,000 square feet of green garden meadows atop our film and television facilities in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. By integrating green roofs and sustainable practices into the heart of Brooklyn's creative economy, we are leading a movement that blends art, commerce, and environmental action and is making a significant difference in our community.
