Educators
Working with educators in conjunction with South Carolina State curriculum guidelines, the Center strives to ensure that students learn and understand the concepts of ecosystem and environmental issues, allowing them to make educated choices as they become tomorrow's decision-makers.
Why Birds of Prey?
Birds are wonderful study subjects for a variety of reasons, including their beauty and the conspicuous nature of their flight. The health of wild bird populations is also an excellent indicator of our environmental health as a whole. Birds of prey are excellent ambassadors for teaching a variety of subject areas, including - but of course not limited to:
- Biology
- Physics
- History
- Fine Arts
- Mathematics
What does a standard program include?
- Introduction to South Carolina's indigenous birds of prey species as well as a number of non-indigenous species
- Observation and natural history discussions about habitat needs and conservation challenges
- Interactions with live birds of prey and opportunities to see birds in free flight
All school programs must be scheduled in advance by contacting the Center's Education Department by telephone or email.
