Birding for a Healthier Life
This talk will demonstrate how birding is not only an enjoyable hobby or passion, but how it also contributes to the physical and mental wellbeing of the birder. Those who may mistake birding as a personal indulgence will come away understanding how birding can be a part of our personal strategy for better health, self-care, and successful aging.
We! Bird
Birding, and more particularly engaging with the birding community, can be an antidote to the epidemic of loneliness and social isolation in our country. In this workshop, we look at how birding enhances existing relationships, opens doors to new relationships, and leads to greater involvement with others who are committed to birds, the environment, and conservation.
Unlocking the Physical Wellbeing
Benefits of Birding
This interactive presentation for flocks familiar with birding will Illustrate how birding can be an enjoyable form of green exercise and physical activity. Participants will be given suggestions on how to maximize birding to enhance their physical wellbeing, with tips that can carry over to other outdoor activities and recommendations on how to bird safely.
From Stress to Serenity
Here we discuss how birding can be an enjoyable form of self-care, therapeutically playing a role in helping the birder effectively deal with stress and improve their mental health. We demonstrate how the benefits of engaging with nature profoundly champions birdwatching, while paying special attention to how we can alleviate undue additional stress that can be generated by passionate birding.
In Defense of the Bird-brain
Building off decades of research on brain health and successful cognitive aging, this presentation demonstrates how the art of birding uniquely aids the birder in maintaining, and enhancing, brain health. Showcasing the complexity of birding, birders will be motivated to continue their upward journey in becoming better birders—for brain health.
