Just outside of Greifswald the Karrendorfer Wiesen provide a splendid location for bird watching at WMBD! The Michael Succow Foundation is inviting bird-lovers at 10th May at 4 p.m. on a guided tour to see long-distance migrants such as the sedge and warbler, wheatears, redshanks and avocet. Back from their wintering grounds in sub-Sahara Africa they breed there in reeds, on the salt meadows and the shore area. Waders such as wood sandsnipers and dunlins might also be spotted on their way further North. Apart from that there are skylarks and greylag goose.

The AFRICAN WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE COLLEGE, will host 20 or so Tour Guide Course students from Tanzania for the event. It will be a camp as usual in Longido Township, northern Tanzania. Participants will be trained about Birds Identification and Birding Techniques as applied to East African Birds. Other subjects to be taught are Ecological Function of Birds; Birds Migration and its aspects; Cultural and Socio- Economic value of Birds.

The campaign together with university students is aiming to raise awareness for the community. In this activity, we will be giving some educational material i.e. leaflets and brochures to the beach visitors in and around the national park.

The scholars, students, children, youth and general public will be encouraged to display, write, draw, present the learning from the winged, feathered animals. This event will be more or less focusing on the raising of participants' awareness of and learning from birds.
