Birdhouses
Vision
Our school is adding some trails to the campus. This will help us use the outdoor spaces more for education and recreation. It does, however, remove some of the homes for birds along the trails. The students decided, after watching the videos on climate change, to help with habitat as habitat loss is one driving factor to reduced populations in many areas, globally.
Action
The students built and then stained bird houses. The bird houses are going to be mounted this summer along the trail, but further back so they are not disturbed by those using the trails. Our school will also add a small plaque about the bird houses to ensure they are not bothered by the greater community who choose to use our trails.
Reflection & Celebration
The students had a fun time creating the bird houses and put a lot of thought and effort into the style, the stain and predators. The girls were so happy with the final results.
