Upper and Lower Elementary SUIMA students worked to install brand new bird houses with the help of the Wildlife Resource Management staff on Friday, Oct. 6 at the Bison Pasture. SUIMA student Tenetke Wesley holds his bird house against a fence post while Wildlife Biologist, Garrett Peachey secures the screws. Students hand painted and designed each bird house recently added along the fence line of the Bison Pasture.

Upper Elementary student, Matthew Carrillo proudly shows off his custom bird house as he waits for the new home to be secured in place. Students learn that not only will the blue bird population occupy the new homes, but that a variety of bird species will occupy the bird houses throughout the year.
