A collection of activities, educational resources, and ideas to help you discover, explore, and connect with the natural world.
A Magazine For curious Kids
Get your feathers ruffled with Bird Nerd, a magazine for kids who love wildlife and the natural world! Each issue explores a new topic through fun facts, activities, and things to discover.

Our first issue takes a closer look at Oregon's owls. Meet some of the owls that call our state home, learn what makes them special, and see how much of a Bird Nerd you can be!
Our ambassador birds are permanent residents at the Wildlife Center of the North Coast due to injuries or conditions that prevent them from surviving in the wild. While they can no longer soar free, they serve an important purpose—helping people connect with wildlife up close and understand the challenges these species face. Each ambassador has a unique story and plays a vital role in inspiring compassion and conservation in our community.
