Fourth graders got the unique opportunity to learn about birds and build their own birdhouses through a hands-on program offered by Elpis Enterprises. Students learned about local bird species, the benefits of attracting birds to yards, and identifying bird calls. Then, students used hammers, nails, and drills to construct birdhouses made from recycled cedar fences.
This special experience was part of Elpis Enterprises’ “This Land of 10,000 Diverse Fourth Grade Birdwatchers” program. The program also supports young adults impacted by homelessness, who work as paid interns to help facilitate these projects.
