Peregrine Falcon Educator Workshop April 12 in Harrisburg
|
|
Join the Game Commission, Department of Environmental Protection and ZooAmerica for a free WILD in The City: Peregrine Falcons Workshop from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. on April 12 at the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Harrisburg, PA. Workshop participants will explore the successes of peregrine falcon reintroduction in Pennsylvania; examine falcon specifics and endangered species concepts; and observe falcons in Harrisburg. Participating teachers are eligible for 5.0 Act 48 credit hours.
Since 1997, a pair of Peregrine Falcons have made their home on a ledge off the 15th Floor of the Rachel Carson State Office Building. This year, there is a new female in the nest who arrived in September.
The workshop will feature a number of peregrine falcon experts, including PGC ornithology biologist Dr. Art McMorris, ZOOAMERICA Education Coordinator Elaine Gruin, DEP Environmental Educators Jack Farster and Ann Devine, Project WILD Coordinator Theresa Alberici and others.
Space is limited, so registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-service basis. Those who have not attended this workshop in the past will be given first consideration; those who have will be placed on a waiting list.
To register for the Peregrine Falcon Workshop, educators should contact DEP’s Environmental Education and Information Center at 717-772-1644 or send email to: adevine@state.pa.us by April 5.
