Black Birders Week at Chollas Lake

Join WorldBeat Cultural Center, the SoCal Bird Nerds, and San Diego Bird Alliance for a free guided community bird walk at Chollas Lake Park as part of Black Birders Week.

Founded in 2020, Black Birders Week celebrates Black birders, naturalists, scientists, and outdoor enthusiasts while advocating for inclusion, safety, visibility, and environmental justice in outdoor spaces. This year’s theme, "Flyways & Freedom: Advocacy, Action, and the Future," explores the freedom of movement represented by migratory birds and asks us to imagine a world without barriers.

Together, we’ll explore the birds, native habitat, and natural beauty of one of San Diego’s important neighborhood outdoor spaces while building connection, community, and belonging in the outdoors. This walk is an opportunity for local residents, families, youth, and nature lovers of all experience levels to connect with nature close to home and celebrate the importance of caring for shared community spaces.

Saturday, May 30, 2026 • 9 a.m. – 11 a.m.

Free community event — everyone is welcome.

No birding experience needed.
