Birding & Binoculars: Exploring Nature's Winged Wonders (3-5gr)
Description
Birds can be found anywhere and it's exciting to spot them in your daily life. This trip is designed to introduce students to birding, which uses important science skills and can become a lifelong hobby. Stations break down how to use binoculars, how to identify birds by their calls and their colors, and ends with a hike around Riverbend’s preserve to see what birds we can find that day.

Riverbend Environmental Education Center
Riverbend Environmental Education Center sits on a 30-acre preserve in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. We teach environmental principles to children in Southeastern Pennsylvania through a direct connection with nature, inspiring respect for our natural world, and action as aware, responsible and caring citizens. All of our programs focus on engaging children in the practices of science, including asking questions, making observations, and collecting data.
Some of our programs take place at neighboring preserves located within a short drive of Riverbend's main campus.
Our programs typically begin at 10AM, but we are happy to be flexible to meet our schools' needs. If you would like your program to begin earlier or later, please let us know!
