Birders at PLU
Birders of PLU is a DJS Club that focuses on birdwatching, but also on the importance of educating others on the spaces in which we birdwatch to keep it safe and clean, as birdwatching goes both ways. We also aim to get more students out birdwatching, and break down presupposed stereotypes or barriers that center around birdwatching.
