Here’s what teachers have to say about Kestrel’s inquiry science adventures:
“I really feel like this helps not only with supporting the curriculum, but will help them in life when they [the students] have to make decisions about where they live and how they live...how their decisions about what they do may affect the wildlife around them.”
—Jessica Lichtenwald, Gloucester High School Science Teacher

“Kestrel's programming keeps students' hands and minds actively engaged. Whether we are outside in the field or in the classroom, Kestrel puts children and nature together.” -Brookwood School Elementary Science Teacher
“Most importantly, Kestrel enriches students' interest in environmental science and inspires them to participate in conservation action.” - Carolyn McWilliams, Rockport Middle School Science Coordinator
“Kestrel made possible an outdoor experience that was directly related to our curriculum. Students expressed an appreciation for a top predator's role in the local ecosystem afterwards, and were able to discuss how coyotes may be misunderstood. Their pre field trip visit gave students practical knowledge in plant identification and a follow-up visit included camera shots of foxes and coyotes filmed right where we had been. Sheila King, Gloucester High School Science Teacher
