CLOSED - Great Backyard Bird Count

THIS CLASS IS FULL.  NO MORE STUDENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual event that connects bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are all across the continent.

Citizens for Conservation in partnership with Prairie Woods Audubon Society and Crabtree Nature Center will   participate in the count as part of this class.

Attendees will watch a video about birds, hike a trail while counting birds, and then head back to the nature center to compile our data. While warming up with hot chocolate, participants will make a bird friendly craft.  A portion of this class is held outdoors, so please dress for the weather with good winter foot gear, coat, hat, and gloves.

This class is open to children ages 4 and older. Caregivers are required to attend. CFC members are free. Non-members pay $5.00 for the first child and $1.00 for each additional child. Please make checks payable to Citizens for Conservation.

Class size is limited, so please register early! COMPLETE REGISTRATION FORMS ARE DUE February 11. Registration forms can be found at http://www.citizensforconservation.org/youth-education/. Please call CFC at 847-382-SAVE (7283) or e-mail youth-ed@citizensforconservation.org with any questions.
