NYAITC Bluebird Project   NY Ag in the Classroom (NYAITC) Bluebird Project mini grants will be awarded to teachers for up to $500. Awards are given to provide an educational program and hands-on experience in which students will learn about New York's state bird, develop a relationship with a local farmer to learn about how farms preserve open space for wildlife, visit the farm to install the bluebird boxes, and maintain communication throughout the year to learn about local agriculture. The funds can be utilized to bring John Rogers to your school. Mr. Rogers is an expert on bluebirds, and will offer school presentations and conduct a hands-on build-your-own-bluebird-box project, with all tools and materials provided.  Mini-Grant Application 2009-2010 Bluebird Grant Application PDF Version Word Version  Useful Links New York State Bluebird Society North American Bluebird Society Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology Nest Box Web Cams The Birdhouse Network (Instructional Package available) Birdhouse Basics Eastern Bluebird Bio Citizen Science projects.
