Environmental Education to Serve Diverse Communities
Communities that value birds protect them. People who understand science support it. We offer environmental education activities to people of all ages to teach the scientific method and inspire a love for birds and other wildlife. By engaging the public as volunteers we also expand our program's reach over geography and time.
Please visit our Reports and Resources section to learn about the issues birds face, download our research findings, and find other environmental education information. You can also contact outreach@sfbbo.org to request our data to add to your school's curriculum or learn how your group can partner on our work. Please follow the links below to learn more about our outreach activities, and follow the environmental education and citizen science buttons below that to volunteer.
