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.

Upcoming Classes
Many migrating birds can be found in Idaho, including shorebirds, raptors and songbirds. In this class, you'll get an overview of bird migration and the physical changes birds undergo for and during migration. You'll learn how you can help migrating birds on their journey too. Ten migratory birds will be introduced, and you'll get tips on where and when to find migrating birds. This class is taught by Golden Eagle Audubon volunteers.
It’s free and everyone is welcome.
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.
