About the Event



Join us May 6th at 4:45 pm (ET) for a special bird watching experience at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, especially for care partners! After you register, we will send you information and instructions.

Join ARTZ Philadelphia and BirdPhilly to check out the local wildlife at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge. BirdPhilly’s goal is to increase interest and awareness of Philadelphia’s birds by providing quality birding experiences on expertly guided field trips. This program takes place during the spring migration season, so it should be a great time to see a wide variety of birds at John Heinz! Binoculars will be provided.

We launched Café for Care Partners especially for the care partners of people living with dementia (usually family members but sometimes close friends playing the same role) to provide engaging, stimulating experiences and relief from the daily grind.

Admission is free with RSVP!

But we ask that you make your reservation(s) as early as possible. We keep our programs small and intimate in scale so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Reservations are first come, first served.
