Conservation, Classrooms, and Citizen Science!

• Started in 2003 by Ranger Eric Powers, the Northern Bobwhite Quail Project school program integrates conservation, relationships and balance in ecosystems, life cycles, biodiversity, citizen science, and human impact.
• Adapted for all grade levels from kindergarten through high school.
• Suitable for libraries, clubs, and scout groups as well.
• Participants incubate Northern Bobwhite Quail eggs and then donate the 1–2-week-old quail chicks to CEED.
• Volunteers raise the quail for another month in outdoor flight cages located around Long Island until they are ready for release into the wild.
• CEED’s goal is to create a sustainable population of Northern Bobwhite Quail on Long Island once again.
