Audubon Adventures Spreads Its Wings
Thanks to support from many Lane Audubon members, 37 Lane County classrooms are receiving Audubon Adventure kits. That means that three times during the school year, 843 elementary-school students get their own copies of Audubon’s newsletter. Also, their teachers have special access to curriculum about birds and their habits and habitats.
This year we were able to reach our largest number of schools (20) and districts (9) yet. The districts are Fern Ridge, Siuslaw, Bethel, Eugene 4J, Springfield, Crow-Applegate-Lorane, Lowell, McKenzie, and South Lane. For the full list of participating schools, scroll down.
Please contact Cecelia Hagen if you have any questions.
Add your support to Audubon Adventures!
The generous donations of Lane County Audubon members make it possible for us to give free Audubon Adventures curriculum kits to elementary-school classrooms throughout Lane County. We hope that you will add your support to this worthy and exciting program.
Each year, the National Audubon Society creates a new environmental education curriculum for students in grades 3-5. Developed by professional environmental educators, Audubon Adventures presents standards-based science content about birds, wildlife, and their habitats. The lessons can be easily integrated into the curriculum areas of science, social studies, mathematics, language arts, and creative arts. Audubon Adventures resources are also available here.
