Join fellow birders in their 20s-30s as we visit Alewife Brook Reservation! Located in North Cambridge, Alewife Brook is host to a variety of resident & migratory bird species in an urban forest/wetland setting. As we explore what the park has to offer, expect to look for songbirds, waterbirds, early warblers, and other spring migrants.

Whether you’re a newcomer looking to start a new hobby or are a seasoned bird expert, birders of all experience levels in their 20s and 30s are encouraged to join! Let’s connect through our mutual appreciation for birds and the environment! Hope to see you there!

Dress for the weather conditions; bring water! Expect to walk approximately 2-3 miles on mostly paved/level paths. Bring binoculars if you have them; loaners are available on request (please email the trip leader).

This trip is specifically dedicated to those aged 20-39 years. Please do not bring children.

We will be meeting at the start of the Minuteman Bike Path ((just north of the Alewife Station parking garage at the intersection of Steel Pl & Alewife Station Access Rd). Public transit access is accessible via the MBTA red line. Parking is available in the Alewife parking garage (paid lot) or the 2-hour DCR lot on the north side of the park.
