Goal
Kids & Birds is an environmental education program authorized by the Ministry of Education for Q'eqchi' Maya primary school students. The program includes a 4-day learning experience on site at CCFC's agroecology center and targets schools within two Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in the cloud forest region of the central highlands. The learning experience includes:
- Cornell Lab's Kids & Bird Sleuth program, 10 lessons on birds
- Birding
- Bio-acoustic record of sounds of nature in the forest
- Stream ecology
- Tree planting: reforestation of fragmented cloud forest.
- Art fun: drawing & coloring bird.
Students return home with a sense of wonder about their cloud forest home & a conversation ethic to protect the cloud forest.
We greatly appreciate your support!
