Education is key to our mission of building an understanding, appreciation, and respect for the natural world. Golden Eagle Audubon provides educational opportunities for both youth and adults throughout the year.
From beginner, intermediate, to advanced, we provide meaningful classroom and field experiences for people of all ages to learn more about birds - their identification, life histories, and more! Other topic areas include conservation issues, broader habitat and ecology-related subjects, and ways to take action.
Request a Presentation or Fieldtrip

We often partner with local libraries, Boise School District’s Community Education Program, Boise Watershed and many other organizations to offer programs. If you represent an organization or group and are interested in a GEAS presentation or field trip, we’d love to hear from you!
Please note we ask that you make requests at least a month in advance and indicate if there is flexibility in scheduling dates. We do not require a payment for these services but a donation of $50 or more, by those who are able, is strongly encouraged to make GEAS’ important work possible into the future.
Teach a Class or Workshop

K-12 Classroom & Youth Education
Golden Eagle Audubon is proud to be a partner in the Idaho Bird by Bird Program. This collaborative connects classrooms with bird-focused education and professionals who introduce and guide classes through community science efforts.
Golden Eagle Audubon works with two assigned classrooms throughout the school year and has the opportunity to build meaningful connections with teachers and students. Thank you for your partnership, Collister Elementary School!
We also regularly support classrooms and youth groups by offering educational presentations, field trips, and activities as requested and as opportunities arise. Please note we ask that you make requests at least a month in advance and indicate if there is flexibility in scheduling dates. We do not require a payment for these services but a donation of $50 or more, by those who are able, is strongly encouraged to make GEA’s important work possible into the future.
