Dear Museum Educators:
The Council for Environmental Education and Flying WILD invite you to join
us from February 5-8 2007, in Austin, Texas for a national meeting of
professionals involved in efforts to educate students and the public about birds and
their conservation needs.
Bird Conservation through Education: A National Gathering for Bird Education
will bring together leaders from national and regional education programs,
wildlife agencies, museums, state education boards, foundations, non-profit
organizations, school districts, zoos/aquariums, nature centers, city park
departments and bird-related businesses. The meeting will provide a forum for
discussion, network building, and planning to further the reach of bird
education efforts in North America and beyond.
The meeting will be held at The Crossings, a forested retreat center known
for its ecologically sound and aesthetically appealing design, chef-prepared
meals, and proximity to natural areas such as the Balcones Canyonlands
Preserve.
The goals of the conference are to:
• Initiate the development of a national bird education network
• Highlight the most critical messages to be communicated through bird
education efforts
• Examine outreach to diverse audiences as a priority goal within bird
education and share successful methods for involving diverse audiences in bird
education
• Share success stories in bird education through case studies and
interactive discussions
