Hey! Thanks for sharing. This is actually me. How funny to see it here. It was
a great, great honor to be interviewed for such a thing and I had a very big
dork moment seeing my name in an Audubon society article. You should all get
the board game! Or the online version if you don’t have many people to play
with.
Well wishes and thanks for sharing.

Subject: [birdky] Audubon article mentions Bernheim volunteer
From the article:
Hanah Carter from Kentucky started playing the game online during the pandemic
as a form of entertainment but says that her relationship with the game goes
beyond just winning and losing. Carter, who volunteers as a naturalist at the
Bernheim Arboretum, says she never thought of herself as someone who loved
birds until she started playing Wingspan.
“I think the game allows you to build a relationship with a large amount of
birds in a really unique way,” Carter says. “It’s more accessible than poring
through field guides or taking a class. You get to be a part of their lives by
playing the game.”
In the past few months, Carter has acquired birdwatching staples like
binoculars and a couple of bird guides, and she now plans to go back to school
for a biology degree focused on birds. She says that her love for birds
started after she began playing the game.
“Wingspan has been a wonderful thing for the birding community,” Carter says.
“I’ve noticed there’s a whole mass of people who had never thought about a
bird who are now obsessed. It connects people with nature.”
