Student Stewards Program
TMPF's Student Stewards Program is underway! Two classes at Bernice Mathews Elementary School learned about the different water birds they were likely to encounter at Teglia's Paradise Park. They then headed out into the park to count water birds at each of the four ponds with volunteers from the Lahontan Audubon Society (LAS), Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), and University of Nevada, Reno (UNR).
The data they collected and analyzed will be presented to the City of Reno, LAS, NDOW, and UNR. The kids loved putting the scientific method to use in their classroom and outside in their neighborhood park. Now they can teach their families and friends about the water birds they encountered in the park!
Teachers: if you are intersted in signing up your class, contact TMPF program coordinator Jackie.
