The goal of this project was to raise students’ awareness of the living things in the environment, specifically the bat species in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Creating real wooden bat houses that could be put to use outdoors, students at École Bannatyne assembled and painted the bat boxes with the help of students at the local middle school. The result? Not only did the project raise student awareness but awareness in the community too. Several completed bat boxes were requested by and donated to local homeowners, cottages, and local conservation organizations.
