Art Teachers, how would you like to have a live bird model for your classroom while receiving an informal program on the natural history of raptors?


A series of five, 45-minute, hands-on presentations to assist you in solidifying some of the science standard concepts for your students.


This program is an all-school assembly with six ecological activity stations. Created for school districts with reduced bussing or that are located too far from the Sanctuary for a field trip. The Sanctuary has created fourteen ecological stations. These stations are interactive and are separated into five categories: Treasures in the Forest, All Wet, The Mad Scientist, We Are All Somebody's Dinner, and Adaptation Mastery. Teachers select six stations that best suit their curriculum needs.

***14 ecological categories***


Live bird presentation with three raptors (owl, hawk, falcon or vulture). This program will introduce adaptations, food weds, bioaccumulation and human impact on species. Presentations can be tailored to fit any level from preschool to high school.


A program designed specifically for preschool-kindergarten age children. Books, puppets, and socialzed animals are used to introduce the children to animals and their needs.
