A new, free education program presented in collaboration with Forsyth Audubon Society
PEA's newest in-classroom program teaches Elementary School students about the migration of the Wood Thursh, and instills important lessons in environmental conservation and protection.
During a one-hour, multi-media session specifically crafted to meet state curriculum standards for 4th graders, this program tells the amazing migration story of a Wood Thrush that traveled from Pilot Mountain, all the way to Belize, and back. Students learn about bird migration and related terminology and participate in reenacting a bird rescue.
Each student will take home a Kids' Bird Pack that includes:
-
Instructions on how to make your own bird feeder (includes small pack of bird seed)
-
Native Plants for Birds brochure
-
Pack of native plant seeds with directions for planting and care
-
Bird stickers
-
Information about Forsyth Audubon and Piedmont Environmental Alliance
Teachers will be provided with follow-up project ideas and supporting resources for lasting positive impacts for birds and education for students including:
- Native plants for birds in school garden or landscape
- Nest boxes and monitoring (provided by Forsyth Audubon Society)
- Pen pal or Skype with the youth of Belize Audubon Society
