This meeting is open to young birders aged 13-18, their parents/guardians
and educators working with young people who may be interested in
participating. There is no fee to attend and CTOS membership is not
required. We'll discuss how YBCs in other states are organized and we'll
solicit feedback from our young birders about their interests.
Field trip: Jim & Dawn Greenway will lead a walk at the VW Wetlands on
November 17, 2019 from 9:00 - 11:00. We will be birding from the side of a

We are catering to beginners, but birders of all skill levels are welcome.
