Join Northern Virginia Bird Alliance (NVBA) in celebrating this year's Latino Conservation Week alongside our partners at the Prince William Soil and Water Conservation District! Founded in 2014, Latino Conservation Week, is an initiative of Hispanic Access Foundation to support the Latino community through outdoor activities aimed to conserve natural resources through both enjoyment and preservation.

As such, NVBA is providing a guided bird walk of Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge where bird guides Jo Doumbia and McKenzie Ingram will provide bird identification and birdwatching tips in both Spanish and English. 

Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge was established in June 1998 to provide habitat for migratory birds and endangered species. The refuge's diverse grassland, marsh and forest habitats attract a variety of songbirds, raptors and waterfowl that depend on the area for food, nesting sites, and a place to rest.

No registration is required. Walk will happen unless there is heavy rain or thunderstorms. We will have some extra binoculars available but please bring binoculars if you have them!
