CalPIF Education and Outreach Committee
The goals for this CalPIF working committee are to 1) increase awareness of bird conservation in target audiences; 2) develop consistent, broad messages and themes as well as more targeted messages for particular audiences, including K-12 programs, landowner programs, volunteer programs, agencies; and 3) work on funding opportunities for CalPIF education. These goals can be accomplished by utilizing existing education networks, conducting teacher trainings, giving presentations at local schools, encouraging activities that are self-supporting, i.e., groups growing native plants for restoration. If you are interested in participating in this innovative group, please contact Melissa Pitkin.
