Why Birds Matter More Than We Think: Health, Happiness and the Human Connection to Nature

This engaging and thought-provoking presentation explores the growing body of research showing how birds and birdwatching can positively impact our health. Studies have found that even brief encounters with birds-seeing a flash of color, hearing a song, can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance overall well-being. Birdwatching has also been linked to increased focus, cognitive function and long-term mental health benefits. Presented by Black River Audubon Society.
