Birding trail workshop set for Dec. 9

A “Birder Friendly Community Workshop” will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 9 at the Balsam Mountain Inn.

The workshop, sponsored by the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, will provide training for businesses and communities to help take advantage of the North Carolina Birding Trial and its potential as an economic development tool.

The North Carolina Birding Trail was constructed to “conserve and enhance North Carolina’s bird habitat by promoting sustainable bird watching activities, economic opportunities and conservation education.”

All attendees will receive a workshop notebook, a Sibley Field Guide to Birds and a “Birder Friendly Business or Community” decal.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
