Presentations
Education Committee
The Education Committee has 7 members, of which 4 are presenters. Our school classroom presentations consist mainly of "What makes a bird a bird” talks, bird mount props, spotting scope lessons, ecology info, microscope work, birdhouse building, learning local bird nature, field trips to refuges, bird games, John James Audubon history, and bird photo study.
Our adult presentations are for any group, such as garden clubs, usually explaining use of bird boxes and feeders plus info on plants birds like. We table our info at fairs and other events.
We give people info about bird houses and will install bird houses on their properties upon invitation.
We annually make 600 wooden sandpiper pencil holders for kids to paint at the July Children’s Faire, and rough out wooden suet feeders for kids to finish and fill with suet for their yards (see photos above).
The Education Committee recommends all of you visit the Resource Conservation District office at Presley and Main in Grass Valley to view our bird mount and bird egg collection.
