JOIN US! AIS Ornithology Learning Center (Our Resident Owls & Nesting Birds)
As we approach summer and Phase 1 of our campus improvements, we have the exciting opportunity to enhance the habitat for our resident owls and other nesting birds. Currently, they inhabit the columns in the portico! Drawing inspiration from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and their resident owl, Athena, we're reaching out to AIS parents, teachers, and students who are passionate about wildlife conservation to join a dedicated team. Together, we'll brainstorm and implement strategies to ensure our school continues to be a welcoming environment for these amazing creatures.
We're looking for volunteers interested in addressing the following questions:
- Where should our resident owls nest, and how many owl nests should AIS provide?
- Is there potential for collaboration with other institutions to establish an ornithology learning center at AIS?
- How can we support the various nesting birds that call our campus home?
- What's the best approach to integrating an ornithology plan into our summer campus work?
If you're keen to contribute and be part of this initiative, please reach out to the AIS Board via email to get involved. Let's make our campus a haven for both learning and wildlife!
