Mendocino Coast Audubon Society is dedicated to providing exciting learning opportunities for students, adults, and families who are interested in becoming more knowledgeable about the birds and conservation issues on California's North Coast. All education programs are free of charge for the participants due to the generous support of our MCAS members.

Elementary Education Classroom Programs

Since 1992, the Mendocino Coast Audubon has taught basic bird biology and birding skills for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-grade students from Point Arena to Fort Bragg and inland to Anderson Valley, Comptche, and Branscomb. The classes focus on the physical attributes of bird identification and the use of binoculars.

Presentations for groups and organizations can be arranged by contacting MCAS.
