Iroquois Observation Educational Services Program at Iroquois NWR, New York
The Iroquois Observation Educational Services Program is designed as a staff-led extension of the current volunteer-led public programming offered in partnership between Buffalo Audubon and Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge. Existing programs that conform to the NY State Education Standards are offered to partnering schools, by contract, through the regional board of Cooperative Educational Services. This partnership has many advantages, including providing quality, science-based programming to schools within the Buffalo Audubon territory that are historically underserved, and a greater awareness of the local natural resources available at Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge.
The pilot year of this program will focus on area elementary schools and will include heavy emphasis on birds of prey. Live raptors are used to heighten student interest and participation and as living examples of key concepts in the NYS science curriculum.
