Birds spark an undeniable wonder and curiosity about our natural world. One of the most exciting places to learn about birds is our own neighborhoods and schoolyards!
Our Bird-friendly School activities, programs, lessons and experiences align the seasonal changes of birds with the school year, supporting formal curricula, student inquiry and project-based activities. We invite you to explore and learn about birds, participate in Citizen Science, and discover how to be ‘bird-friendly’ at school, home and in the community. With thousands of schoolyards across Canada, a network of ‘Bird-friendly Schools’ can support safe and healthy habitats for birds, and inspire young stewards for birds and nature.
