Join Our Birding Community!

We are thrilled to unveil a new immersive educational initiative: The Barbara Stover and Susan Bell Birding Academy. Made possible by a generous gift, the initiative includes three complementary elements: The Birding Academy, Feeder Grove, and Birding Resource Center. Each element invites nature lovers at any point in their learning journey to connect with each other as they venture further into the wondrous world of birds.

The Birding Academy: Grow Your Knowledge

The Birding Academy will provide an array of in-person educational experiences, including multi-day certificates, single session seminars, experiential hikes and field trips, and regular club meetings. Designed for curious beginners through established experts, these interactive offerings approach bird education through the sciences, arts, and broader community connections. Our goal is to create a learning community of people from all backgrounds who share a love of birding, nature, and conservation.

The Feeder Grove: Get Inspired  

Located west of our Great Hall and viewable from inside, the Feeder Grove observation area recently underwent a breathtaking transformation! The overall space and the native plants, feeders, and bubbling water feature it contains are intentionally designed to attract both local and migrating birds. The resulting sights and sounds are sure to captivate already avid birders and ignite greater curiosity and learning in novices.

The Birding Resource Center: Gather Your Tools   

The Birding Resource Center, an exciting addition to our Great Hall, will serve as a learning hub for both individual enthusiasts and our broader birding community. It will provide tools such as binoculars, books and guides, and birding journals in addition to on-site guidance from expert staff. By supporting and connecting bird lovers, we strive to help birding flourish across Milwaukee and beyond.
