Whoooo Lives Here? Owls in our Backyard (Grades K-4)

The Owls in Our Backyard program brings students up close and personal with our many owl neighbours. They will have the opportunity to interact with owl specimens, step into the role of owls in the ecosystem, discover ways to identify owl habitat, and engage in stewardship activities to support our owl friends.  

This program includes:  

• Learning about the significance of the owl and exploring owl diets, habitat, anatomy, and physiology. Students will interact with taxidermized owl specimens and have a class member transform into an owl.  [25 min] 

• Play nocturnal hunter games to step into the role of owls. Go on an outdoor walk to find evidence of owls on site; owl evidence is guaranteed but please note that we cannot guarantee a real owl sighting during the program. [15 min]  

• Students will complete an owl pellet dissection. They will sort through the pellet contents to determine which animals their owl had consumed. [20 min] 

This program occurs both indoors and outdoors. Please dress appropriately for any weather that may occur. 

Nature Educator: Emma K.
