Program Information

Batty for Bats
Students will be introduced to one of Michigan’s most misunderstood (and beneficial) wetland creatures…the bat. Slides, simulation games, mounted bats, bat craft and habitat, improvement project (bat box construction), and a field excursion to look at the natural bat habitat are all employed in this program. Teaching students about these amazing creatures and the environmental pressures they face due to man’s inborn prejudices and our use of the land is the main goal of this program.

Bluebirds Bring ‘em Back
This program is a Conservation Action Program, where students learn the about the Eastern Bluebird and improve the habitat for the nesting season. Students will learn how to identify blue birds, what their natural habitat needs are, and how man has affected their population by the use of their land. Students will also role-play as bluebirds seeking shelter in an action-game that includes nesting difficulties during each round. Students will then go out to I-75 to hang their handmade bluebird nest box kits with our naturalist specialist.
