Handbook For Bird Educators

Young children have an innate affinity to nature, which often gets lost while growing up. We believe that an early association with nature, guided by an adult mentor (parent or teacher) can have many emotional and physical benefits for a child. Birds are the perfect starting point for this journey, since they are beautiful, accessible and interesting. Bird watching can help get a child interested in many other aspects of nature and lead to a lifelong love and appreciation of the natural world.
