This spring our staff and community outreach volunteers have been busy teaching about conservation science and advocating for birds at our Coyote Creek Field Station and at events in the wider community.

​This is part of our mission to engage communities in avian science, habitat restoration, and education. 

​We brought science to life at the Wildlife Society’s Earth Month Kickoff and engaged 118 visitors through interactive education about bird migration, sparking curiosity and dialogue about the importance of conservation. 

SFBBO’s Landbird Banding Team welcomed students and community members into the field for hands-on bird science experiences. 
Fourth Graders from Russo McEntee Academy visited CCFS for their second annual bird banding experience, exploring different habitats and learning about scientific data collection.
