Uplift and Amplify
Exploring nature through our lens.
We’re back and ready for a new journey!
Black Birders Week is, and always will be, a bold and unapologetic reclamation of the Black community’s role in environmental spaces, a powerful celebration of our enduring connection to nature resounding call to dismantle the oppressive systems that have excluded us.
For our 6th year, we are proud to announce our 2026 theme: “Flyways & Freedom: Advocacy, Action, and the Future”.
This year, we turn our gaze to the horizon and the paths that connect us all. We are not just standing our ground; we are tracing the ancient flyways of migration, movement, and resilience. This theme is about the journey toward liberation, the advocacy required to protect our shared environment, and the decisive action needed to build a future where everyone belongs. It is a continuation of a movement that centers Black joy, liberation, and collective power in the outdoors. This is a space where Black birders, scientists, and nature enthusiasts are not just participants but visionary leaders and changemakers, reshaping narratives and demanding equity in every arena.
Black Birders Week is more than birding...it’s a movement for liberation, healing, and the transformative power of nature as a force for resistance and reclamation.
Exciting updates are coming your way every week as we count down to Black Birders Week 2026!
Stay tuned for sneak peeks at events, activities, and ways to stay engaged and get involved.
