Celebrate Urban Birds at The Lion’s Den in Indian Orchard
June 6, 2009

The Lion’s Den Youth Outreach Center is a sanctuary for youth in Indian Orchard, MA. Their mission statement is:

“Creating Safe Places for Youth to Encounter Christ”

The Lion’s Den Celebrate Urban Birds event included puppets, musicians, data collection, planting flowers that are friendly to urban birds, and lunch!

Children of all ages learned about urban birds, looked for birds and helped local artists paint a large picture of birds.

The event provided the community with a weekend event for the family and helped neighborhood children learn more about the Lion’s Den, a youth center that is a safe place for youth to connect with other youth in a safe manner and learn about Jesus Christ.

Celebrate Urban Birds strives to co-create bilingual, inclusive, and equity-based community science projects that serve communities that have been historically underrepresented or excluded from birding, conservation, and citizen science. The project seeks to promote better science through equitable knowledge sharing, increased access, centering missing voices and experiences, and intentionally advocating for community ownership and scientific research leadership. Together with participating communities, the project has co-developed processes to co-design, pilot, and implement scientific research and programming while focusing on race and equity.
