Cornell's BirdSleuth


Take young people outside with BirdSleuth!


As the days get longer and warmer, Cornell University is promoting its outdoor teaching and learning resources.  The new BirdSleuth website is full of ideas and resources that teachers,  homeschool families, and both informal and afterschool educators can use to get kids outside for hands-on learning.

School gardens are a very effective way to encourage students to spend more time outdoors. Cornell provides tips for creating a bird-friendly garden on their blog.

Other blog posts highlight easy ways to teach students how to identify birds and use binoculars
