Plan to join us for our second National Gathering in February 2009. Dates and location will be announced soon. Sessions will include best practices in bird education, funding bird education programs, the national bird education strategy, connecting bird education to bird conservation, and many more timely topics. Birding field trips will be offered to local hot spots.
