Youth Birding
with focus on programming for young people ages 10 and up
The Joint Youth Commission (JYC) and Rural Youth Services(RYS)/4-H Programs are teaming up to offer a Youth Birder Program!
Youth should expect to learn about bird ID, natural history, behavior, and more from local educators, birders and each other. The group will meet at various locations. Youth will also have a chance to meet local scientists, photographers and sound recordists. Youth interest will also guide this program.
In the spring many field trips will be offered, including a youth overnight to the Rochester area (Montezuma, Mendon Ponds and Braddock Bay).
Transportation is generally not offered, although contact Beth for possible transportation/car-pooling information.
Youth should bring water bottles and snacks to programs. For outdoor programs, please be prepared for any weather. Thanks!
Saturday January 21 9:30-11:30 at CCETC or TBA
Sunday February 5 9:30-11:30 at CCETC or TBA
Sunday March 12 10am-3pm, meet at CCETC for trip around Cayuga Lake. Families/youth can ride in the 4-H van, or carpool. Please let Beth know what you would like to do. Thanks!
