How to Lead a Field Trip...

Have you ever considered the benefits of learning to how to lead field trips?  You can learn more by teaching others.  You can sharpen your skills of observation and identification.  You can experience the joy of sharing your interests with a group of like-minded folks.  Being a field trip leader proves two old sayings: learn by doing and learn by teaching others.  Fort Collins Audubon is offering a workshop for would-be, future, novice, and experienced field trip leaders. The Field Trip Leaders Seminar will help you discover a whole new perspective on birds and birding by training you to help other people catch the fire!  This day-long seminar will focus on such topics as planning and logistics, group dynamics and special populations, instruction and interpretation, timing and pacing, and a whole lot more.  And of course, the seminar has a flip side: learning what makes a good field trip can help you enjoy future field trips as a participant even if you never lead one!
