About me
BBO's BirdSmart education outreach program entails biologists giving presentations focusing on bird conservation, diversity, climate change and research to schools, day homes, and other groups. A live educational bird of prey is brought to every event to further reinforce the material taught during educational presentations.
Presentations are given based on the appropriate grade level and are linked to the Alberta school curriculum, integrating bird information into the sciences, social studies, and / or language arts topics. Presentations include information on how to protect birds in local communities and how to reduce contributions to climate change.
In addition to the presentations, activities, such as sketching or crosswords are included to enhance learning whenever possible.
