[Maine-birds] Introducing: The Maine Young Birders Club

Greetings fellow birders,

Nathan Hall and I recently founded the Maine Young Birders Club (MYBC), and we thought it was about time we told everyone about it!  We are particularly grateful for the support and help of York County Audubon, Seth Benz of Schoodic Institute, Eddie Woodin of Woodin & Co., Doug Hitchcox of Maine Audubon, and Kim Kaufman & Laura Guerard of the Ohio Young Birders Club.  Thanks to them, we were able to get our organization off the ground in January 2017.

The number one goal of MYBC is to provide a safe and friendly environment for young birders in Maine to experience the wonder of birds and nature with other teens through birding-related events and activities. Nathan and I organize monthly field trips for youth, and we are currently working on expanding our programs to include presentations, guest guided-walks, and a young birders' camp. Our website is www.maineyoungbirders.org, where you can find plenty of information about the Club, as well as ways to support our mission. You can also read an article about us on page 3 of York County Audubon's spring newsletter here. Finally, please "like" our page on Facebook if you're interested in our activities.

We wanted to ask you for help in spreading the word about our organization. If you know of 11-18 year olds who live in southern Maine and are enthusiastic about the natural world, please contact us at info@maineyoungbirders.org. We'd love to get them involved! Also, we need some help with fundraising, so if you have time and fundraising experience and would like to make a difference for young birders in Maine, please get in touch. We will greatly appreciate your help.

Many thanks,

Lena Moser & Nathan Hall
