About our Youth Education Programs

Jess Garby, Flathead Audubon Society’s Education Coordinator

The mission statement of the Flathead Audubon Society is to conserve birds, wildlife habitat, and ecosystem diversity through education and conservation programs in northwest Montana. Recently, we have welcomed a full-time Education Coordinator to help fulfill our goal of educating in schools and throughout the community. Currently, we provide complimentary school programming and field trips for all schools in the Flathead Valley that are interested. Our lessons focus on birds and their habitats, and we have developed 18 learning kits for teachers to implement in their classrooms.

Our programs and resources are designed to engage and inspire students of all ages. Our learning kits include a variety of hands-on activities and lessons that align with educational standards and foster a deeper understanding of ornithology and conservation. Each kit is carefully curated to provide comprehensive insights into the fascinating world of birds and their vital roles in our ecosystems. To explore our learning kits, click here.

We encourage educators to take advantage of our free delivery service, ensuring that these valuable resources are accessible to everyone in the Flathead Valley.

Join us in our mission to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards!
