Nature Adventure Wednesdays: Bird Nerds
McFarland Park, Story County
Wednesday, May 5, 2021
Take a break from your screen and go on a field trip with a naturalist! These are our favorite school field trips offered instead for families. While all ages are welcome, please note the suggested grades for each field trip.
Programs will take place outdoors and will be canceled in the event of severe weather. The $5 fee allows up to five youth and one adult chaperone (children must be accompanied by at least one adult), and additional adults do not need to register. If you are bringing more than five kids, please register them as a separate group with their own separate adult chaperone. The $5 fee will be charged to the adult registration only. The fee is required by the Monday before each field trip. Bring a blanket for your group to sit physically distanced; masks are required.
5/5 Bird Nerds (designed for grade 1): Discover how adult bird behaviors help young birds survive and thrive. Students will design a safe nest, protect and feed their "nestlings," and hike to meet the birds in their habitats.
Our top priority has been and will continue to be the health and well-being of the public and the staff. In response to the ongoing development of COVID-19, Story County Conservation programs will adhere to social distancing, smaller group size, increased sanitation and face coverings mandatory when social distancing is not possible or while indoors. Pre-registration will be required when group size needs to be limited due to the facility or location.
