Expressing support for the designation of the week of May 8 through May 17, 2026, as "National American Birding Week".
This bill proposes to officially recognize the week of May 8 through May 17, 2026, as "National American Birding Week."

The bill would affect birdwatching enthusiasts, conservationists, educators, and anyone interested in promoting wildlife awareness. It aims to provide a platform for celebrating birding and raising awareness about the need to protect bird species and their environments. This recognition could lead to increased public participation in birdwatching events and educational programs.
