Birding to Change the World
Birding to Change the World
with author Trish O’Kane
Wednesday, April 8, 2026
7:00 – 8:00 PM Eastern Time
Zoom Meeting Format
FREE
The Land Conservancy is pleased to partner with the Kirtland Bird Club to host an engaging conversation with Trish O’Kane, author of Birding to Change the World. In this inspiring program, O’Kane will share how birds helped transform her own life and what they can teach us about the healing power of nature. The discussion will also explore the importance of ensuring that children have meaningful opportunities to connect with the natural world and how communities can advocate for more nature in young people’s lives.
Please note that this program will use an open meeting format rather than our typical webinar style, and participants may be seen and heard. If you prefer not to be visible or audible, you may turn off your camera and microphone.
