What mid-winter activity is fun, easy, free, and helps bird conservation? What can parents and teachers do to connect children to a world of natural wonders? This February, the fifteenth annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, will give everyone a chance to discover the birds in their neighborhood and "Count for the Record."
Join us at the Burroughs Library on Friday, February 17 and Saturday, February 18 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. as we count birds, meet the public and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow birders!

The Gulf Oil Spill has already had catastrophic consequences for birds, other wildlife, coastal communities, and vital beach and wetland habitat. Now, even as the oil has stopped flowing, we know that its lasting impacts will only be revealed over time - and recovery will be a long-term process.

The 2012 International Year of Sustainable Energy for All is a special year declared by the UN General Assembly to raise awareness of the relationship between sustainable energy and development. Sustainable energy provides new opportunities for growth during the economic downturn. Sustainable energy enables businesses to grow, generate jobs, and create new markets. Millions more children can study after dark. Countries can grow more resilient, competitive economies. With sustainable energy, countries can leapfrog over the limits of the energy systems of the past and build the clean energy economies of the future.
