Donations for the Val Kitchens Memorial Educational Grant Program
In the last several years, we have used Val Kitchens Memorial Education Grant Fund to award $500 to the Community Cloud Forest Conservation in Guatemala to support their “Kids and Birds” program. This program focuses on schools within two Important Bird Areas in the cloud forest region of the Guatemalan central highlands. Kids and Birds uses Cornell’s BirdSleuth curriculum to introduce kids to conservation biology, citizen science and ecology through birds. Our grant of $500 funds the costs for a class of sixth graders to participate in the program. We hope to be able to continue such grants in the future to encourage the preservation or restoration of habitat and the education of young people about birds and their ecology.
We welcome donations of any size to help us protect and celebrate the birds of Northern Virginia.
