Audubon Adventures!

Available for Grades 3 to 5

The national Audubon Society has developed an environmental education program for children in grades 3 to 5 called Audubon Adventures. It was developed by professional environmental educators and presents basic, scientifically accurate facts about birds, wildlife, and their habitats. It comes packaged as a Classroom Kit (serving 32 students) or as an Individual Kit (serving 1 student). The program can be used by classroom teachers, after-school program coordinators, special education instructors, language arts teachers, and homeschoolers.Each classroom kit contains:
Four different editions of the award-winning Audubon Adventures student nature news magazine (32 copies of each)
A Classroom Resource Manual with hands-on activities and science background
A Classroom Wall Certificate
An environmental wall poster
The Coulee Region Audubon Society has been purchasing classroom kits for local teachers for quite a few years and we would like to continue that program this year. Since the new school year is approaching, I thought that I would send out a reminder that this program is available. If you know educators who work with this age group, I would encourage you to suggest that they look at the Audubon Adventures section of the Audubon website to see if this material would be a useful addition to their curriculum. If they are interested, have them contact me and I will work with them to get a kit ordered as soon as possible so that it is available for the new school year.
There are 5 different kits available - one of which is brand new. Therefore, even if students (or a teacher) have already seen a specific Audubon Adventures kit in a prior year, there are other kits available that cover different topics.

Wyalusing Field Trip - May 14, 2023 at 6:00 AM

-
Dan Jackson will lead a field trip at the Wyalusing State Park on Sunday, May 14th from 6:00 AM until about 11:30 AM. This trip is free and open to the public. We meet on the entrance road before the gate house and then bird throughout the park by car caravan. Car pooling is encouraged and we will stop at the gate house parking lot to let people buy park passes and consolidate. This is the most exciting field trip of the season with lots of park specialties. This year's date should be very close to the peak of the warbler migration.

Myrick and Hixon Forest Bird Walks - April 25 - May 11, 2023

-
The Myrick and Hixon Forest bird walks will be held on Tuesday (Myrick) and Thursday (Hixon) mornings from April 25 - May 11, 2023. The walks start at 6:30 AM and go until about 8:30. The Myrick walks will start from the base of the Rabbit trail near the Myrick Park Center and the Hixon walks start from the parking lot at the end of Milson Court. Due to severe flooding, it is likely that we will not be able to walk the marsh trails for the Myrick walks (at least for the first 2 weeks). We will adjust if needed by walking along the edge of the marsh and heading into the Oak Grove Cemetery (just west of Myrick Park). These walks are free and open to the public and will be led by Dan Jackson and Pat & Bobbie Wilson.
