EDUCATION &
OUTREACH
Our vibrant education program is designed to engage both children and adults, instilling a sense of stewardship for the natural world around us. Each presentation includes age-appropriate information about our local birds, the vital role they play in maintaining our environment, and the impact we humans have on both of them.
We offer a variety of educational experience options both with and without the participation of our Ambassador birds.
