Fifth Annual Christmas Bird Count for Kids (Green Cove Springs)
January 5, 2019 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
CBC4Kids is a fun winter event to celebrate birds while engaging youth in real Citizen Science. The successful annual event promotes appreciation and awareness for birds and nature!
CBC4Kids is a citizen science adventure, designed for kids aged 8-16. Parents and their youngsters join birding team leaders in the fun of celebrating nature and the outdoors. After arriving, participants are divided into teams and pass through “Binocular Boot Camp” orientation. These small working teams then head out with a short local winter bird list and bird guide in hand.
Yes, there is something besides shopping during the holidays. Experience the wonder and beauty of birds in their winter habitats. Even in January, our feathered friends can capture our imagination and desire to venture out and pursue their discovery. The sport of birding is legendary and the CBC4Kids offers a wholesome family-centered citizen science adventure.
Program: Wild Wonders Animal Show – where kids get a chance to learn and see other animals up close.
