Join us in celebrating Birdability Week 2023 from Oct. 16-22! Birdability is a nonprofit harnessing education and outreach to provide people with disabilities the opportunity to participate in birding and the outdoors. The organization has revolutionized how we connect with nature by providing an accessibility crowdsourced map. What is an accessibility crowdsourced map? It is created by having users review sites, focusing on accessibility criteria. Birdability then shares the accessibility information around birding locations, trails and outdoor amenities. Before your next birding excursion, you can look up information on parking accessibility, restroom availability, trail surfaces, safety concerns and more – this map has you covered.

The Conservancy is excited to participate in a Canal-wide Birdability survey, starting at Waterton Canyon and stretching through Green Valley Ranch. We’re committed to enhancing accessibility, transparency and inclusivity along all 71 miles of the Canal. We look forward to seeing what this survey reveals about additional amenities that could improve the user experience. You can already find Fly’n B Park’s accessibility survey on the Birdability Map. Stay tuned for more updates as we work to enhance the High Line Canal for all.
