Expressing support for the designation of the week of May 9 through May 18, 2025, as "National American Birding Week".
HRES 363 is a non-binding resolution supporting the designation of May 9-18, 2025, as "National American Birding Week." It recognizes birding’s $107 billion annual economic impact and highlights threats to migratory birds like habitat loss, while encouraging public engagement in events like Ohio’s "Biggest Week in American Birding." The resolution does not create new laws or funding but symbolically promotes conservation awareness and economic benefits tied to birdwatching. It directly affects birders, conservation groups, and communities hosting birding events.
