Program Description

During this fall program designed for secondary grades, students will be introduced to the methodology of bird surveys, bird banding and how scientists have learned the migration routes of different species. The Lesser Snow Goose population and the conservation and management of the Sanctuary habitat will be explored as examples of the outcomes of bird studies. The students will then be given a tour of the Sanctuary, with an emphasis on viewing large flocks of migratory birds with binoculars and data sheets.

  • Social, ethical, and sustainability considerations impact design.
  • Evolution by natural selection provides an explanation for the diversity and survival of living things.
  • Complex global problems require international cooperation to make difficult choices for the future.
