Thrilled to recently roll out a Seed Planting Project as a way to engage kids with nature. We have been busy giving away native plants seeds and helping #BringButterfliesBack to S. Florida. Together, youth are making a difference one plant at a time! @ButterflyBCBC@uschool_nsu
Finding ways to engage kids during school closures can be challenging & @CornellBirds wants to help! These hands-on activities exploring nature & science with a combination of indoor/outdoor activities are designed to help ease cabin fever. Check them out! https://t.co/WLlBXZbFls
Did you know most skippers build temporary leaf houses? As caterpillars, they protect themselves from predators by rolling themselves up in the leaves of their host plant. In this photo, you can see the shadow of a Hammock Skipper caterpillar through its shelter.@ButterflyBCBC
Looking ahead to a new week with kids at home? These activities can help bring the beauty of birds into your week. Plus, sign up for a weekly email from our K-12 Education group @k12_lab for even more kid-focused ideas. https://t.co/o2PJbvjiqh #BetterWithBirds
What if plants could "talk" to each other? New research from @CornellCALS found plants transfer information in the form of airborne chemicals for emergency alerts.

If you were alive in 1970, more than 1 in 4 birds in the U.S. and Canada have disappeared within your lifetime, according to new research led by @CornellBirds. Over 90% of losses are "common birds," including sparrows, blackbirds, warblers and finches.

Only a very small number of invertebrates are pests. Yet, pesticides rarely distinguish between beneficial invertebrates and those which cause harm. Learn more about our pesticide program, including natural alternatives: https://t.co/phYHPWS1wW (📸: Bryan E. Reynolds)
Thrilled to be at a school that has nurtured my passion for so many years and has given me the opportunity to share my love of butterflies with others!
It's with great excitement that we share another feature story that aired on @CBSMiami's Mentoring Matters segment on how the mentorship between sophomore Duncan Jurman and science teacher Ms. Chana Goodman led to our school's #butterfly garden/vivarium. https://t.co/FaoWDsNvq8
NJHS students help out in our butterfly garden and lead by 10th grader Duncan, they learn how to plant and maintain the habitat. @uschool_nsu@BringBackBflys
