Want to encourage the kids in your life to connect with nature and birds? Environmental educators at the Cornell Lab’s Bird Academy developed a fun-filled course that will foster kid’s natural curiosity about the outdoors. In July, every eligible checklist that you submit gives you a chance to win free access to Let’s Go Outside! How to Connect Kids with Birds and Nature course. This course is designed for adults with 6-10 year-olds who want to get the most of their time together outside, with field activities designed to build an appreciation for the natural world.
Ten lucky eBirders will get this course for free from their July eBirding. If you like taking part in the eBirder of the Month Challenges, here are even more excuses to motivate yourself to get out birding. Each month of 2022 will feature a different Bird Academy course offering—tune in at the start of July to see what’s on tap for next month.
