Children ages 2-10 are invited to join the Village’s Junior Birder Program. Participating children will receive a birding starter kit, which will include information on native birds, and instructions on how to win prizes through the program. Birding is a great way to get your children outdoors, improve their critical thinking skills and foster a love of nature.

To sign up, please send an email to JrBirders@villageofelportal.org containing your name, address, and child’s first name.
