Audubon Adventures is an award-winning environmental education program about the natural world and how to protect it. This science-based program helps our students form positive attitudes about nature and supports teachers with instructional content aligned with national standards for social studies, civics, science, and language arts.

Designed for students in grades 3-6, Audubon Adventures materials are easy to use in any classroom. The content and activities allow teachers to successfully adapt the materials to students' different skills and learning styles. Lane County's children will be inspired by this year's new edition of "Feathers, Furs, Fins and You." Their adventure will include the following themes:

• "Pollinators," featuring hummingbirds and bees
• "Wild Alaska"
• "Rivers of Life"
• "Caring For Our Planet," a special "Action for Planet Earth" edition focusing on ways that young people can actively participate in Audubon.

Teachers receiving Audubon Adventures materials receive several supplemental resources, including student handouts, posters, brochures, and a full color teacher's manual with articles and worksheets to share with students. A one-year membership to National Audubon Society and Lane County Audubon Society (LCAS) is also included.

Through the generous donations of LCAS members, the Lane Audubon's Adopt-a-Classroom Program makes this material available to local teachers at no cost to the school system. Audubon Adventures covers topics and themes that are important to Lane County Audubon Society's mission, and does so in a way that supports education and teachers.

If you would like to sponsor a classroom, please mail a tax-deductible donation of $45, payable to: LCAS, Audubon Adventures, P.O. Box 5086, Eugene, OR 97405.
