Bird-a-Thon
Raritan Headwaters is excited to bring back our annual Bird-a-Thon! Our bird watching team – the Watershed Warblers – will be out from dawn to dusk identifying species of birds throughout the Upper Raritan watershed region!

The Kids Team will visit areas of the watershed that provide fun, safe access to nature for young people. The Accessible Team will visit areas of the watershed that have wheelchair-accessible trails, sit spots, and observation areas suitable for people with disabilities. Email Lauren to learn more about joining one of our teams! Raritan Headwaters works to protect and preserve critical watershed habitat for New Jersey’s native and migratory bird species. By protecting clean water in our streams and rivers, restoring climate resilient habitats and educating residents, we are working to protect precious natural resources and native wildlife populations from further decline. With your support, we can sustain this important conservation work into the future! Our Director of Education, Lauren Theis, is excited to be a Birdability Captain. Birdability is a national
