From March 5 through May 5, 2018, take part in the challenge and help protect the Long Island Sound!
Attention students (and families and teachers) in New Haven and Fairfield County, Connecticut—we need your help to create a healthy Long Island Sound, a critical part of the Connecticut landscape. By taking action right in your own schoolyard or backyard, you can make a difference for the local environment and Long Island Sound!
There are three ways to participate in the Schoolyard to Sound Challenge and for a chance to win amazing prizes for your school classroom:
The more you participate the greater the chances of winning! Prizes are up for grabs for the five classrooms with the most student participation. Take part in Audubon Connecticut's Schoolyard to Sound Challenge and your class could win prizes like free passes to the Maritime Aquarium or a live bird of prey show right in your classroom!
We know you will get hooked on viewing the nest on an Osprey Cam and learning about this fabulous bird who lives in Long Island Sound. And the small actions you take on the pledge, such as planting native plants and picking up trash at school and at home, will make a huge difference for the environment—from the Schoolyard to the Sound!
