Good Neighbors: It’s for the Birds

Immerse your students in the journey of migration by navigating the helpful and hazardous situations that birds encounter—right in your schoolyard or neighborhood! This program empowers learners to take action by getting outside with a Denver Zoo Educator to evaluate the local environment and make a plan to help birds. Other approaches to learning about migration just won’t fly.
