Washington Crossing Audubon Society (WCAS) has provided National Audubon Society’s Audubon Adventures, an award-winning environmental education program, free of charge for central New Jersey fourth grade classrooms for more than twelve years. Thanks in large part to corporate sponsors WCAS is proud to perform this significant environmental curriculum enrichment program in three urban school districts in Mercer County—Ewing Township, Hamilton Township, and the City of Trenton. For the upcoming 2007-2008 school year, we would like to acknowledge The Pennington Quality Market, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Bloomberg Financial Markets (a Corporate Friend) as corporate sponsors, each having made generous contributions to support this program.

Audubon Adventures has been greeted enthusiastically by school administrators, teachers, and especially by the kids, who can take home four issues of an environmental newspaper, and in their classroom see videos and interact with other schoolchildren across the country via the Internet. The current Audubon Adventures resource kit includes a complete teaching resource for teachers and youth leaders working with school children ages 8 to 11, with 32 copies of four different newsletters, and spotlights various nature themes, The all-new kit spotlights various nature themes, including Wings and Things: Bats, Bees, Backyard Nesting Birds, Bills & Beaks, Feathers and Feet.

Washington Crossing Audubon Society is the local chapter of the National Audubon Society in Central New Jersey, with over 1500 members, and is a non-profit 501(c)3 volunteer environmental group funded by membership contributions and outside donations. WCAS actively seeks to expand environmental education to people of all ages in Central New Jersey, which range from holding monthly program meetings and field trips open to the public, to symposia for local organizations and corporations. Washington Crossing Audubon Society’s region encompasses all of Mercer County and parts of Burlington, Hunterdon, and Somerset Counties.
