Hello,
A few years ago I had the wonderful opportunity to work with John Schaust the chief naturalist with Wild Birds Unlimited, Inc.
He is a true gem in the field of birding and natural resource interpretation. I would highly recommend contacting him as a starting point.
This is his facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/people/John-Schaust/100000298303906
Good luck with the curriculum,
Jeremy

Hi all,
A group of us at the Cornell Lab are developing a new curriculum for connecting middle school students to nature through birds, and I'd like the input of some educators from this list.
One of the lessons involves taking students out for a field experience to a local park/natural area/nature center. We would like to address the difficulties of taking students on field trips , while also providing inspiring examples. That's where you all come in. I am looking for examples of field trips you have led, either at your site or to local natural areas, that focused on exploring nature and/or collecting citizen science data. Specifically, where did you go, what did you do there, how was the trip funded (and anything else you think might be useful). Even a brief description could be useful in providing as wide a variety of examples as possible.
Also, if you'd be willing to share links to materials you use to guide visitors through a visit to your site, send those along, too!
Any feedback you can send me ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by Wednesday, July 6 will be very much appreciated—and will hopefully help us to empower more teachers to give their students field experiences!
Many thanks,
Anne Rosenberg
