Educational Programs
One of company's most important goals is to foster an appreciation of nature among people of all ages, and particularly to inspire the next generation of birders with a desire for environmental stewardship by helping adults and children enjoy their neighborhood birds.
In support of this goal, your local store owner may offer a variety of educational programs for both children and adults. These programs are presented by store owners or special guests knowledgeable in subjects such as bluebirds, hummingbirds, raptors, migration, bats, organic gardening, bird-friendly landscaping and bird identification. Some programs take place in your local store, others - in schools, community centers and parks. Supplementary materials, such as study guides, identification charts, birdhouse or birdfeeder kits are available with many of these programs for a nominal fee or gratuity.
Find out about some of our most popular educational programs by checking each link on the list below. Please note, however, that there are many more programs than can be listed here. Program leaders routinely adapt presentations to the ages and specific interests of each group. If you are interested in hosting a program, please call your local Wild Bird Center or Wild Bird Crossing store owner for more information. (See our store list for the location nearest you.)
