The North Platte Birding Club will create community and celebrate the ecosystem of the North Platte River, the river that gives life throughout the Nebraska Panhandle. We will meet bi-weekly during the summer, choosing a unique birding location along the river each time.
To foster a sense of community, we will start each outing with food, beverages, and connection for participants. This Club is meant for birders of all levels; Bird Conservancy will provide mentorship to new birders and encourage the sharing of knowledge among all participants. Outings will vary from traditional bird walks to stationary birding, depending on the interests and needs of participants.
These walks are free, but registration is required. Visit birdconservancy.org/events to register!
Binoculars and field guides will be available to borrow. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared to be outside for up to the duration of the program.

Tuck Everlasting
“Tuck Everlasting” is a musical based on the beloved 1975 novel by Natalie Babbitt, with music by Chris Miller and lyrics by Nathan Tysen. It tells a poignant story about the nature of life, death, and time. What would you do if you had all eternity? Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster yearns for a life of adventure beyond her white picket fence, but not until she becomes unexpectedly entwined with the Tuck Family does she get more than she could have imagined. When Winnie learns of the magic behind the Tuck’s unending youth, she must fight to protect their secret from those who would do anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds, Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: return to her life, or continue with the Tucks on their infinite journey.
