Bird Banding Observation

Participants will carpool to a site in the West Park section of Fairmount Park to observe and learn of the Migrant Stopover Ecology Study. The Philadelphia Zoo and Audubon Pennsylvania are working in partnership with researchers at Wildlife Conservation Society/Bronx Zoo Department of Ornithology to assess the ecological value of this habitat. (In the event of heavy rain, the field trip to West Park will be cancelled and the presentation will be in Independence Schoolhouse.)

Classroom Training (10 AM - 3:30 PM)

This main section includes presentations by local civic and environmental leaders. Workshop participants will engage in collaborative group exercises throughout the program.

Zoo Tour
