## About this plan

If you want a free thing to do in Bogotá that teaches you while you walk, Between Birds and Roots is a great plan. It is a lab at the Gabriel García Márquez Public Library, El Tunal branch, where you meet the birds of Bosque Urbano El Tunal through direct watching, listening to their songs, and scientific drawing.

BibloRed and the Bogotá Botanical Garden run the activity together. The findings from each session feed an illustrated catalog built at the LabCo rooms in Tunal and Tintal. It gives you a fresh look at the green that survives in the south of the city.

The sessions run on Saturday mornings in September. The plan fits curious people, nature lovers, and families who want to connect with the neighborhood's wildlife.
