Education and Outreach: Star Lab Sessions, PSA Opportunity and New Children's Materials
Summary
Naturalists are wrapping up in-school programs and running public Star Lab events; Jill Schmidt will host an adult-only Star Lab session at Rock Creek. The board learned about a no-cost 60-second PSA opportunity with KROS, and Brian Tugana proposed outreach ideas including a free coloring book with Margo Hansen, trail cams, an outdoor auditorium and bird vocalization instruments.
Naturalists reported the conclusion of in-school environmental-education programs and noted ongoing public programs featuring the Star Lab. Jill Schmidt will host an adult-only Star Lab session at Rock Creek from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The board also discussed outreach opportunities: Jill and Brian Tugana explored the KROS radio system and confirmed the department can produce a 60-second public service announcement at no cost to advertise programs.
Board member Brian Tugana proposed several outreach and education enhancements, including an outdoor auditorium for speakers, trail cameras streaming to the TV at Rock Creek, collaborating with Margo Hansen to produce a free children's coloring book with commissioned illustrations, and installing bird vocalization instruments. Brian requested program attendance numbers (kids and adults); Jill said she keeps those records and can provide the data.
