Contact: Susan Jones, 315-338-7730 Looking for an unforgettable experience? Join Lorrie Schumacher and her feathered friends from Cornell University's Lab of Ornithology at the Backyard Ranger program Saturday, December 15, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am and from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm at Fort Stanwix National Monument. You will become a Junior Ornithologist and: ο Explore early birds, not getting the worm, but getting feathers and taking flight. ο Learn about food webs. Become a citizen scientist and dissect owl pellets. ο Celebrate the holidays by making a gift to wildlife, an eco-friendly wildlife feeder for your backyard. The Backyard Rangers at Fort Stanwix National Monument create connections between youth and parks through diverse park programs and inspires kids to get outside and experience their America. The Backyard Rangers meet on the third Saturday of each month. The next Backyard Rangers will be held January 19, 2013, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am and from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm at the Fort Stanwix National Monument's Willett Center.

All programs are fee free and no reservations are necessary. - NPS - |
