What's next & how to support this project!
The zine is pretty much ready to be sent to the printer! 250 copies will be printed in late October, and distributed at North Chatham Free Library, Kinderhook Memorial Library and through the Mid-Hudson Library System.
I'm already working on an idea for the zine Vol. 2, which will highlight farms in Upstate New York that incorporate bird-friendly practices despite the many challenges of farming, such as creating winter habitats for sparrows, installing nest boxes, and protecting breeding grounds for grassland birds.
It would be wonderful if I don't have to keep doing all this out of pocket and could even partially cover my time. If you'd like to personally support this project (thank you!), you can do so by becoming a paid subscriber on Beakuency Substack or a purchasing my work from my Etsy shop. Your shopping for a $5 bird greeting card will make a difference for me!
