FeederWatch in the Classroom: 2026–2027 Application

Thanks to a generous gift to FeederWatch from the Waud family, 50 schools each year will receive access to FeederWatch at no cost. Doris Waud, a long-time public school teacher, was actively involved in the creation of Classroom FeederWatch,a program that was later incorporated into the K-12 Education program here at the Cornell Lab. In 2016, Doris lost her battle with cancer and her husband John and their sons wanted to honor her with a gift that would allow schools to participate in the project Doris loved and helped bring into so many classrooms.
