Abstract:

This avian sanctuary offers more than shelter for a myriad of water and land fowl. For North Carolina and Virginia’s public school students, it has become a popular field trip destination. On a higher education note, East Carolina University and Sylvan Heights are collaborating in endangered species conservation and research opportunities. Individuals of all ages can partake in its other educational endeavors: festivals, guided tours, conservation and research talks, field sketching workshops, and birding trips.
