- Fieldtrips
Here is an opportunity for your students to take their birding skills beyond the schoolyard. We have started to create permanent Ecology Explorer bird monitoring locations across the Valley. The habitat structure has already been completed so all you need to do is find the point count location, conduct the protocol, and enter your data. If there is a location you would like to add to the list, please let us know.
