We’re sending off two of our own in the best way we know how. 🐦🍫
Leanna and Timm are about to embark on one of the most extraordinary adventures we’ve ever witnessed. This July they set off on Wings of Survival, a 30,000km cycling expedition spanning nine months. Before they go, we’re gathering to celebrate them, get outside together, and send them off in style.
Join us June 7th at 8:30 AM at Whitemud Park Edmonton for a 7 Summits Snacks Social you won’t want to miss.
Here’s how the morning works 👇
The centrepiece is our Birdathon Challenge, 60 minutes in nature, your way. Run, hike, walk, birdwatch, or all of the above. Every kilometre earns you 1 point. Every unique bird you spot using the Merlin Bird ID app earns 2. You can chase distance, chase species, or find your own balance of both.
What to bring:
📱 The Merlin Bird ID app downloaded on your phone
⌚ A smartwatch or phone app to track your kilometres
Never used Merlin before? No stress, we’ll do a quick walkthrough before we start.
By getting out there you’ll also be contributing to real citizen science and conservation research. Birds are some of nature’s most important environmental health indicators, and every sighting counts.
After the Birdathon we’ll come together for coffee, tea, snacks, and good wishes for Leanna and Timm as they head into the unknown.
Whether you’re a birder, a runner, a walker, or just someone who loves a good morning outside, this one is for you. 🏔️
