Take a closer look at birds and bring the biodiversity of Illinois birds into your classroom. See how birds use their physical characteristics to adapt to the environment and how each species has a unique niche in the ecosystem. Get hands-on field experience banding birds with the Lincoln Land Association of Bird Banders (LLABB). Discover why scientists track and band birds as we join LLABB for a walk on the prairie, identifying birds in their natural habitat. This workshop is for grades PreK-12. Supplemental classroom resources will be provided. Professional Development Hours are available. Sponsored by the IDNR, this workshop is part of the ENTICE (Environment and Nature Training Institute for Conservation Education) program.
