For the Kids:
Members of Central Texas Audubon Society routinely offer
opportunities for children to learn more about birds and
their habitats including classroom visits, Girl or Boy Scout
meetings and nature walks at the Carleen Bright Arboretum.
We are also pleased to participate in the Audubon
Adventures program by providing educational materials to
local classrooms. If you are a teacher interested in
obtaining this curriculum for your classroom or in
scheduling a visit, please contact Natalie Kutach, Education
Chairman, at
bkutach@hot.rr.com.
