The PLES STEM program owes part of its success to donations from local companies, such as Tree Amigos of America. Owner Shane Barker, gladly agreed to donate and deliver a truckload of wood chips to the sanctuary expansion project.
Fourth-grade students chose to add wood chips to the sanctuary expansion because this PBL started when Killdeer used the wood chips on the playground to blend with their brown feathered backs while they sit on the nest protecting them from aerial predators.
Students shoveled and raked the woodchips into place to make a possible nesting site for the Killdeer birds. Historically, PLES has tracked the Killdeer nests from February through June on our campus.
