Congratulations to GRFFA Alumna Emily Sonder on her presentation on bird banding for NCROC! Well done, we are proud of you!

Emily Sonder gave a presentation about bird banding during the Bell Museum's Eco Explorations camp at NCROC. She also led the campers on a "birding" walk around NCROC property where the campers used binoculars to find different species of birds. The highlight was a red tailed hawk.

Emily is currently studying at Minnesota North College in Grand Rapids, where she is an active member of the Natural Resources Club, and has volunteered with the MN DNR on local goose banding projects. In 2023, she was a member of the Grand Rapids FFA Fish & Wildlife Team, which won the Minnesota State competition and advanced to the national level. She will continue her education at Bemidji State University, with the goal of pursuing a career in wildlife management and conservation.

Keep an eye on both NCROC's and the Bell Museum's social media platforms and websites in early 2027 for information on next year's summer camps
