I am here today. Students will gain understanding about endangered animals. OWL volunteers will present information on causes and future challenges of protecting endangered wildlife. Two representative birds will be shown. Topics include biomagnification, pesticide usage and stewardship of the environment.
Some wild animals are almost unlovable.
Students will learn that worms, skunks, and other unhuggable yuckies are a good and wonderful part of wildlife. Students will build worm farms and learn about composting. Worm farms may be returned to OWL at the end of the school year and the worms used as food for the baby birds that are rehabilitated. Students will learn about owls. Four representative birds, their hunting habits and adaptive characteristics, will be shown.
