Ornithology Lessons

Teachers:
The resource guide will enable teachers to use the Gorge and related national parks as an outdoor, hands-on learning environment for their students through a variety of scientific topics. In addition, the guide will help increase teachers’ and students’ local knowledge of, and interest in, the Potomac Gorge.
