The environmental education project about osprey opens horizons.

During the month of October, students from Bizkaia had made monographic visits, culminating the first phase of the development of the environmental education plan about osprey in Euskadi. This plan is supported by the Basque Government. More than 1.240 students and 75 teachers had taken part in the plan, managed by Urdaibai Bird Center and Ekoetxe, in Txingudi. This is the first stage of participation in the plan and the great majority of the schools want to move to the next level of participation. The second level consist on exchanging experience, works, audiovisual works...with different students, not only from Basque Country, but also from other parts of the world.

Students had have studied different aspects of the osprey like phenology, reference wetlands, peculiarities of their migration, birds that also migrate like the osprey...All this is summarized in a exhibition panels.

In this context, the Project called "Ospreys flyways linking communities" keep moving forward. In the end of October more than 100 school centers will start preparing works that will exchange with the rest of pupils in the last week of March, called WOW (World Osprey Week). This event's logistic center is Rutland Water (Leicestershire) in England. As part of this special week, schools are participating in the design for the development of a common logo to represent the corporate image for the project.
