Join Madison Audubon and Access Ability Wisconsin for a fun, accessible, and inclusive fall outing through beautiful Badger Prairie County Park with Access Ability Wisconsin to celebrate Birdability Week 2022! AAW will bring several of their Outdoor Wheelchairs (OWCs), designed to allow individuals with mobility challenges to explore the outdoors independently and safely. Nature is for everybody, and every body!

We’ll meet at the Verona Public Library Parking lot by 4:30pm. We’ll say hello, AAW’s team will demonstrate how to use the wheelchairs, and we’ll have a guided bird tour through the prairie.

Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated; feel free to bring a camera, binoculars, and/or field guide. We will also have binoculars available to borrow. 

Features: 
- Family-friendly and beginning birders are welcome!
- Meeting point parking lot includes accessible parking spaces, nearby Verona Public Library has restroom and water fountain facilities
- Field trip leader is adept at birding by ear and able to accommodate those with blindness or low vision
- AAW OWCs will be available to try out and use (let us know if you are interested in the RSVP form on our site)
