A Study of Urban Wildlife Using Video aims to further the understanding and appreciation of life sciences and ecological stewardship in school children. Through the development of a new Chimney Swift tower at Shaler Area High School, installation of streaming video technology, and integrated informational panels and QR codes that lead users to a web landing page, Audubon Society envisions a project that connects students with nature via fun and interactive curriculum. The tower installed by Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania will attract Chimney Swifts which will occupy the tower, build nests, and ultimately raise young. District instructors will use the streaming video hosted on their website to enhance studies of life sciences and ecological stewardship with their students.
