(PRWEB) August 11, 2005 -- September is for the BIRDS at STAR ECO Station.
Soaring in defiance of gravity, birds are among the planets most majestic and
intelligent creatures. Let your imagination take flight with a month-long
celebration of birds, every weekend in September at the STAR ECO Station, 10
a.m.-4 p.m.
BIRDS is an interactive exhibit of live birds, Bird Brain
trivia, art, games, and prizes, saluting all feathered friends who talk, squawk,
sing and soar.
STAR ECO Station is a non-profit environment education
museum and exotic wildlife rescue center that offers sanctuary for rare and
exotic macaws, cockatoos, African grays, toucans, conures and more, as well as
more than 100 species of reptiles, wildcats and sea life.
Founded in
1997 by Erick, Sr. and Katya Bozzi, and their children, Erick, Jr. and Katiana
Bozzi, the STAR ECO Station is dedicated to its mission of Preservation Through
Education and offers the most innovative, interactive and inspiring
environmental education programs for its students and the community.
In
partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, STAR ECO Station provides
rescue and rehabilitation of illegal or abandoned at-risk exotic wildlife at our
18,000 square-foot facility in Culver City, as well as provides environmental
education outreach programs, in over 40 California school districts. Through
assemblies, classroom instruction, community events, fieldtrips, summer camps,
children’s birthday parties and tours of the rescue facility, STAR ECO Station
inspires learners of all ages.
Visitors experience hand-on lessons of
ecology and environmentalism on a wild and fun encounter with rescued tropical
birds, exotic reptiles, wildcats and ocean life in a tropical setting.
Environmental partnerships enhance the station with 15 educational displays from
such organizations as the World Wildlife Fund, US Fish and Wildlife Service,
Surfrider, and Santa Monica BayKeeper’s unique walk-thru Kelp Forest and storm
drain display.
There exists an alarming, widespread lack of knowledge and
compassion for the Earth, which we passionately believe can be reversed through
educating children. Aligned with California State Standards for environmental
science, the STAR ECO Station’s interdisciplinary, hands-on lessons of
compassion and empathy for the natural world inspire children to a understand
their role in conservation, resource management and responsible consumerism.
Event admission is $5 for kids, $6 for seniors, $7 for adults. Call
