MATTAPOISETT — Mattapoisett Land Trust and Nasketucket Bird Club are hosting a fall birding program in the style of a “big sit.”

The program will take place Sunday, Sept. 29 at 8 a.m. at the Grace Meadow preserve.

“A ‘big sit’ is a type of birding event that usually lasts a prolonged period of time with the goal of identifying as many species of birds as possible while participants are all stationary and seated,” a Mattapoisett Land Trust news release said.

The ‘accessible nature’ of a big sit will be recreated at a seated, stationary location at the Grace Meadow preserve. Attendees are asked to bring binoculars and a folding chair. Mattapoisett Land Trust will provide some chairs, but there will not be enough for everyone.

The program will be led by Justin Barrett and Mike LaBossiere from Nasketucket Bird Club and run until 10 a.m. 

Grace Meadow preserve is located at the end of Bowman Road off Aucoot Road. RSVP at Mattapoisett Land Trust’s event page. It is recommended to dress comfortably for the weather and wear close-toed shoes and long pants. The event is free and open to all, regardless of birding experience or physical capabilities.
