Calling all educators! February 2 is World Wetland

Calling all educators! February 2 is World Wetlands Day, and we’re excited to share a lesson plan to help you incorporate wetland education into your classroom. In partnership with EcoSchools Canada, we’ve developed this curriculum resource to support nature-based education. You can invite our team into your classroom to participate in hands-on wetland activities, or you’re welcome to deliver the lesson independently. Educators across Canada can also access a wide range of nature-based lesson plans through EcoSchools Canada. Visit ecoschools.ca to become a EcoSchools certified classroom or school! #EchoScools #WorldWetlandDay

Happy #BirdFactFriday! 🐦 Did you know that col

Happy #BirdFactFriday! 🐦 Did you know that collisions with windows in residential and commercial buildings kill over 25 million birds in Canada each year? Even more surprising, A lot of these collisions happen at homes. Here are some simple ways you can help prevent bird window strikes at home: 🔹 Make windows visible
Use commercial bird-safe products, window decals, tape patterns, or window screens. Decals work best when they’re large, visible, and placed on the outside of the glass. 🔹 Turn off lights at night
Especially during migration seasons, reducing nighttime lighting helps prevent birds from becoming disoriented. 🔹 Place feeders & bird baths safely
Keep them within 1 m / 3 ft of windows so birds can’t build up enough speed to be seriously injured if they strike the glass. 🔹 Try Acopian BirdSavers (“zen curtains”)
These closely spaced cords hang in front of windows and act like tape or decals. 🔹 Use washable window paint
A fun and temporary solution that can be especially helpful during migration. Small changes can make a big difference for birds! This media is part of our Birding Without Barriers program, supported by NatureHood, a @naturecanada_ initiative.
