Hi, a group of my students in my Fairhaven College Field Ornithology class have been intrigued by the recent research on mental health benefits of birdwatching and has created a survey that they are asking folks to take before and after birdwatching.  The questions are not sensitive or invasive in nature and can be answered quickly.  The survey is anonymous, but if you’d enjoy talking to the students about your view of the mental health benefits of bird watching let me know (jbo...@wwu.edu) and I will pass your contact info along..

Hello,

 

I've attached a link to our Birding survey below. Our group would be very grateful if you filled it out before/after your birding sessions.
