Cope Environmental Center invites nature enthusiasts to register for its annual Birdathon. From May 1-17, participants can explore nature and raise funds to support the center’s educational and conservation efforts.

Join as an individual or part of a team to count birds near your home, on vacation or along Cope’s own trails. Register as a photographer and track the birds in photos. Each participant is encouraged to have at least one sponsor.

The Birdathon coincides with peak migration season, making it an opportune time to spot a variety of feathered friends in their natural habitat. Registration opens Monday, April 13, with full details at visitcope.org.

New this spring is the $65 Adventure Pass, allowing birders access to 13 events in April and May. The first event is April 26. Go to visitcope.org for details.
