School and Classroom Presentations
Predatory Bird Research and Conservation School Assemblies
The Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group (SCPBRG), based at Long
Marine Lab was instrumental in the effort to bring the peregrine falcon
back from the brink of extinction, and now they want to share the
inspiring story of the peregrine with your students.
Scientists and educators from the SCPBRG are available to visit your
school for assemblies and class visits for students in grades three
through adult. Students will meet a live peregrine falcon during the
presentation, learn about the peregrine’s amazing adaptations for
survival, and hear the stories of the dedicated scientists whose work
led to the removal of these fascinating predators from the Endangered
Species List. Great teaching resources and activities for your students
are also available.
For more information or to schedule a visit the SCPBRG web site at
