Dear Keith Parents / Students,
Do you know that October is a great time for halloween celebrations, but is also when we celebrate the world migratory bird. This is an important time when birds are traveling south to warmer places. They face many dangers during their travels. Here are some things to think about:
Would keeping your cat indoors, putting decals on clear windows, eliminating pesticides from your yard, sparing a small part of your lawn to create a habitat help, turning bright outdoor lights off when not needed make a difference ?
What could fake spiderwebs, decorations with loops, dangling decorations, that look like food do to wildlife ? What happens when glitter coated pumpkins are spotted by a hungry critter ? What happens if we toss a candy wrapper that has sticky sugar ?
Would more time outdoors enjoying nature make a positive difference in your life ?
When you join a bird conservation group such as the Keith Green Team Bird club you get a chance to express your opinion and learn more about birds and support important conservation work. There is no cost, just a little bit of your time will go a long way make a big positive difference to the world, and to help improve your academic skills, grades and health.
What Keith Green Team is doing this month: Collecting candy wrappers, setting up a “most earth friendly costume” contest, giving out flower seeds, tree seedlings to homes, giving out free national park passes to 4th graders, building bird houses, setting up a bird observatory at school and much more ! We need both parent and student leads to help ! Scan code below to know more.
