VARC school field trip visits are a great way to get students out of the classroom!
Thanks again Derek for a great session. It really is great to have someone so passionate about birds sharing their enthusiasm and knowledge with the students!Douglas B. Ransome, Ph.D., R.P.Bio.
Bring your class on an unforgettable field trip to VARC’s Colony Farm Banding Station where students are introduced to the research techniques required for monitoring migratory birds and the population ecology and ecosystem dynamics of wild bird populations, in an age specific way. Students will learn about bird migration; the various habitats and communities they depend on during both spring and fall migration and the breeding season; and the conservation actions required to protect these habitats to ensure the long-term survival of bird species.
Connect with us to arrange a date to visit but, please keep in mind that the station is operational on weekends and selected weekdays from April 1st – October 31st.
Don’t forget to check out our other In-class School program options here!
