Try one of our programs and teach your class or group more about birds and the environment that surrounds them.
All of our programs are interactive and hands-on to create a memorable experience for children.
Programs can be given at Le Nichoir’s conservation centre in Hudson or at your location.
Programs at Le Nichoir include a visit to our bird care facility.
We also offer an optional add on activity in the Clarke Sydenham Nature Reserve adjacent to Le Nichoir to allow children to explore and connect further with nature.
