"}" data-trix-content-type="undefined" class="attachment attachment--content"> Join us in celebrating the life of César Castillo (1980-2023), a beloved naturalist and teacher, in the fourth annual César Castillo Memorial Queens County Birdathon.
In partnership with the Queens County Bird Club on May 9th, 2026, we will host three bird outings to explore some of César’s favorite bird patches. Funds for this event will go towards efforts he cared deeply about: programming in his home county of Queens, with a focus on connecting underserved communities to nature.
