BOOK A WILD VOICES FOR KIDS PROGRAM!
Due to recent CBEEN program funding changes, we will now offer price options for Wild Voices for Kids programs.
Please select the price option that suits your needs, knowing that some schools don’t have access to the financial resources that others do.
We ask that teachers ensure that a program does not violate their school and/or district policies before booking. It is the responsibility of the teacher to confirm program suitability and communicate needs and questions to the Community Educator.
We continue to have a COVID-19 policy in place and teachers booking programs are expected to read this plan in advance of their program to understand our policies and practices around offering programs.
Questions about the policy may be directed to the Wild Voices Program Manager at wildvoices@cbeen.org

About the Program
Reflection Lake is one of Golden's best locations to observe birds during spring migration and nesting season! Bring your class on a morning field trip to Reflection Lake Wildlife Viewing Area for a morning of bird watching and bird games. Binoculars and bird identification books are supplied.
This field trip will be customized to fit the grade level. Students will find out how to use binoculars, identify a number of song and water birds and observe their activities. They will identify habitat features and the significance of the Columbia River Wetlands to migratory and resident bird and ecosystem health. They will also learn how to recreate responsibly in the wetlands.
