Join author, birding guide, and nature-based wellness provider, Holly Merker, as she shares how and why watching birds benefits our bodies and minds. Research shows that exposure to nature actively reduces stress, depression, and anxiety, while helping build a stronger heart and immune system. Birds are gateways into deeper experiences with nature, magnifying these benefits. Through observation, we can learn not only about birds, but gain insight into our own lives while exploring our connection to the world around us.

During the program, Holly will delve into our connections to birds, how to maximize the wellness benefits of birding and photography and learn about the latest research in the power of nature for overall wellbeing. A raffle for a copy of Ms. Merker's book, Ornitherapy: For Your Mind, Body and Soul, will take place during the event.
