The Gift of Nature: Birding with Cornell Laboratory

The most precious gifts come from the heart.  Many times they don’t cost a thing.  Other times it isn’t even a thing at all.  OpticsPlanet is big on gift-giving by its true definition: showing another that you care.  What better way to show somebody that you care than giving them the gift of nature through birding?

Cornell Ornithology is a research institute that has been changing the lives of children, neighborhoods, and families for years by introducing wildlife and nature in the form of birdwatching.  The Cornell Lab founded the program Celebrating Urban Birds which has changed the face of local conservation efforts.  With technology advancing at an exponential rate and children finding electronic entertainment indoors, it has become a priority for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to provide an outlet for our future to experience the wonders of birds and bird watching. 

Imagine the feeling of a youngster seeing the ruffled feathers of a perched bluejay with a pair of birding binoculars.  Those are the memories that are priceless in this world, and you can give them to children with a small, creative gift for birdwatching. Donate now to Cornell Ornithology and feel the light shine from within knowing that you are a part of a nature-driven future.
