Step into the world of bird migration and experience the science behind more than 60 years of research and discovery!
Manomet's Banding Lab has been in operation since 1966, when Founding Director Kathleen (Betty) Anderson banded the first recorded bird on the property: a Black-capped Chickadee! Today, Manomet's program is one of North America's longest-running banding stations, having banded more than a quarter of a million birds in its history. Because birds can serve as sentinels of environmental change and ecosystem condition, this decades-long record provides a unique window into how our natural world is changing.

This certificate entitles you to an exclusive visit to Manomet's historic Trevor Lloyd-Evans Banding Lab in Plymouth, Massachusetts, to learn about banding and see live birds! Guided by one of our expert team members, you'll get an up-close look at how scientists use birds to better understand local trends in migration patterns, population changes, life history, and environmental changes. Your 1.5-hour visit offers a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes of this remarkable program and meet the people who make it all happen!
