The simple but beautiful 42x60 education center will expand and enhance BSBO's mission by:
• Providing a safer venue for our research and education teams to present programs and conduct
research studies and volunteer training sessions
• Allowing us to offer education programs all year, not just when the weather is decent
• Allowing us to expand the types of educational programs we offer
• Expanding the opportunities for BSBO to work with local and regional partners
On World Migratory Bird Day, May 14, Tom Bartlett will conduct the 27th annual Big Sit fundraiser for BSBO's educational programs. Tom will spend 12 hours (5 a.m. to 5 p.m.) tallying all the birds he sees or hears from one location next to the Magee Marsh Wildlife Area Boardwalk. Those willing to support the Big Sit and BSBO's education programs can make a donation now, or pledge an amount per each bird species that Tom sees or hears that day. We need YOUR help to reach more students with our education programs. Each Big Sit donation, or pledge per bird species, provides for Education much-needed support that allows Black Swamp Bird Observatory to offer these dynamic programs at no cost to schools!
