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 http://www2.ucsc.edu/scpbrg/classroomvisit.htm , or e-mail falconet@ucsc.edu .
