Slow Birding at the Extension Botanic Garden 3-10-2026

Enjoy the Botanic Garden and learn about plants that grow well in Southern Nevada home gardens that attract birds. Enjoy a sensory experience in the garden while learning what birds commonly reside in local home gardens and perhaps view a few nonresident birds here for the winter. This event is ideal for persons with limited mobility, new to birding or those who want to experience nature at a slower pace. A donation of $5.00 per donation is suggested, but you can donate as much as you want.

Slow bird walks will be offered in the Extension Botanic Garden (Cooperative Extension Gardens) on the second Tuesday of each month from 9:00 am to 10:30 am. Register here. Participation is limited.

The Botanic Garden is located at 8050 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89123. Map link here. The walks will begin in the main area of the botanical garden at the northern edge of the campus, just behind the main building. Look for the chain link fence and the gate. The walk will begin in the Pollinator Pavilion.

Meet Suzann Chesebrough-Pruitt!

My lifelong passion for the outdoors and gardening led me to a love of birds. My birding style is casual and relaxed. I prefer taking time to observe birds in their habitat rather than focus on identifying them. Although, it is always fun to identify a bird species! I focus my bird walks at the Extension Botanic Garden so I can introduce participants to birds that reside in Southern Nevada neighborhoods and how one can create a bird-friendly habitat.
