Feminist Bird Club Builds Inclusive Outdoors | Colorado Springs News
Description
The Feminist Bird Club is turning birdwatching into a movement—creating welcoming, inclusive spaces for women, people of color, and queer folks who’ve felt left out of traditional outdoor activities. Born in NYC in 2016, the club now thrives across North America and Europe, with Denver’s chapter exploding in popularity after a record 75 attendees at one outing. Now capped at 20–30 to keep things cozy, events require advance sign-ups and even help cover park fees to ensure accessibility. Members bond over shared experiences of exclusion in nature, finding solace and community through birds—and often, shared passions like science or activism. Upcoming: a joint outing with Colorado Women in STEM at Bear Creek Greenbelt on Sept 27, proving that birding isn’t just about spotting feathers—it’s about building belonging, one feather at a time.
