Accessible Bird Outing to Marian R. Byrnes Natural Area

  • Marian R. Byrnes Park 2200 East 103rd Street Chicago, IL, 60617 United States (map)

Join Chicago Audubon Society, Chicago Park District, Access Living of Metro Chicago, Audubon Great Lakes and CJ Greco for a bird walk in Marian R. Byrnes Natural Area!

This outing is designed to be intentionally inclusive and accessible for both beginner and advanced birders who experience accessibility challenges as a result of a disability or other health concern.

We will stick to walking on paved and flat surfaces. There is free parking. We will meet at the south entrance to the park at 2200 E. 103rd St. and end our outing in the same place.  We will bird along the trail for approximately 1.5 miles. Please note there are no public access restrooms on-site. Anyone is welcome, and beginner birders, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals, and individuals with a disability are particularly encouraged to register.

Registration is limited to 15 participants, with up to five additional attendants if you need to bring someone to help you participate. If you would like to, please list any access needs you may have when registering so we can make sure you have the best experience possible at least three days before the event. 

Please note that use of masks is optional. Hope to see you there!

Meeting location: 2200 E. 103rd St., Chicago. We will have the gate open so that you can pull your car into the preserve and park there.
