Birdwatching Tools for the NMS Garden Club

Help me give my students binoculars to observe nature on our school’s campus! We have woodland and grassland birds and a closer look would bring more learning opportunities to our Garden Club with birdwatching!

My Project

The NMS Garden Club is grateful for the community’s support in encouraging our middle schoolers to be better stewards of the Earth.

We want to expand the mission of our club to include birding.

Our urban campus has a wealth of birds including Cardinals, Bluebirds, Hawks, Bluebirds, Goldfinches, Woodpeckers and more! With your assistance, we can help encourage future birders and naturalists by observing and documenting what is already in our own “backyard.”

If you help us purchase the binoculars, field journals, and guides to backyard birds, it will help us with the mission to expand our garden club from the ground to the skies.
