We are diverse\, inclusive\, and welcome all that come with a positive attitude and mutual respect for others. We focus on building up leaders who not only serve our organization but also have a heart of service for our community.\n\n \nCommunity Norms: Respect yourself\, each other\, all road users\, parks\, waterways\, and local organizations. Let the leader set the pace that allows us to stay together. We roll together through intersections like buses and trains. Travel as a unit\, pedal faster to close any gaps\, and always evaluate for yourself if it is safe to proceed. Stay to the right side of the road\, call out hazards\, do not litter\, and be prepared to break off from the ride independently when necessary. Minors must be accompanied by their legal guardian. Help foster our safe spaces by respecting our community norms\, reporting harassment\, and treating all with mutual respect.

SUMMARY:Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Travis Audubon and The Trail Conservancy to find birds and observe their behavior on the new section of the Butler Trail\, the Holly Trailhead\, historically part of the decommissioned Holly Power Plant at Festival Beach. Recently planted native trees\, shrubs\, wildflowers\, and natural spring water dominate the landscape and provide excellent habitats for many different species of birds. As TTC restores this new section of the trail\, we will see a change of birds\, so you’ll want to come on this monthly walk.\n \n\nThis bird walk is ideal for beginners\, but all levels are welcome. We have binoculars to lend to anyone that doesn’t have a pair. Our walk will total 1-2 miles in about 3 hours\, making our way through the Holly Trail and adjacent to Lady Bird Lake to listen to and look for resident birds\, migrants\, and flyovers. The terrain is mostly flat (dissolved gravel trail and sidewalks) and there is ADA accessibility at the Holly Trail Overlook.  In winter\, we will take a stop at the Holly Trail overlook section of the trail a bit to watch the waterfowl.\n \n\nRegistration is required and is limited to 10 participants. A reminder email will be sent with pertinent details before the field trip. For questions\, contact Rachel at rachel.zierzow@gmail.com.
