Wilson’s World HomeSchool: The Great Backyard Bird Count with North Carolina Arboretum

CHARLOTTE, N.C. –   We are checking in with Ana Lindsay at  The North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville to follow up on the Great Backyard bird count.  Ana is giving us an update on how their young Eco-Explore participants are doing spotting winter birds during these colder months.

Thousands of kids have sent in their photo observations from their own backyard and are earning badges and prizes while learning more about nature and possibly help scientists. More information about the Eco-Explore program at The North Carolina Arboretum can be found at ecoexplore.net.

The North Carolina Arboretum offers acres of cultivated gardens and groomed trails featuring some of the most beautiful, botanically-diverse plants in the region. The North Carolina Arboretum is located  at 100 Frederick Law Olmsted Way in Asheville, NC. For more information on The North Carolina Arboretum, hours and current health restrictions, check out their website at ncarboretum.org.
