## About this plan

If you are looking for free things to do outdoors in Bogotá, LabCo 'Between Birds and Roots' is worth your time. It is a co-creation lab run by the LabCo Room at the Gabriel García Márquez Public Library in El Tunal, together with the Bogotá Botanical Garden. The program focuses on the birds that live in the El Tunal Urban Forest and invites you to get to know them through watching, listening, and scientific illustration.

Over six sessions, participants head into the park, learn to identify species, and record what they find with drawings and field notes. Everything collected feeds into a shared illustrated catalog built by everyone, so each session leaves a mark on a group project. Admission is free with prior registration, and you do not need any experience with birding or drawing.

- Six sessions at the El Tunal Urban Forest
- Watching and listening to urban birds
- Scientific illustration for beginners
- A shared catalog built by participants
- Free activity with prior registration

## Who it's for

It fits families, nature lovers, students, and anyone looking for free plans in Bogotá to learn about birds and draw together, with no previous experience required.
