Mars 2nd Graders - After-school Science Series

Stormy Oaks Nature Conservancy is located on 14 acres of farmland in Butler County (Middlesex Township). The Conservancy is the home of Wildbird Recovery, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of wildlife and natural resources. We achieve this goal by presenting educational programs, in addiiton to providing licensed rehabilitation efforts for Passerines (Songbird, Swifts, Swallows) and Raptors (Birds of Prey). Our continued efforts are supported entirely by the community.
We have been a resource in the community for more than two decades and are excited to bring science programs to the students of Mars Area School District.
