We welcome college classes that would like to view monitoring and research efforts in the field.
We believe that biology classes can learn a great deal about data collection and study design as well as Missouri birds by holding a field lab at one of our project sites. We have hosted Ornithology, Ecology, and Vertebrate Zoology classes from Missouri Valley College. As well as classes from the University of Central Missouri.
