First and Second Grade students display the bat houses made during their study of bat colonies..
The students in Anne Ford McGrath’s and Lorena Stankevich’s first and second grade classes studied bats this past Fall.
The student’s visited Moran State Park’s new bat house and learned about our local bat colony in the San Juan Islands.
With donations and help from the Liblik, Jones, Larson and McMurray families, the students built seven bat houses to put up around Orcas Island.
There will be one in the Deer Harbor area, two at Orcas Island School district, one at Camp Orkila, one in Eastsound, and one at Doe Bay Resort.
