Two Biology 11 classes from North Peace Secondary School, a Science class from Bert Bowes, and a Science class from Prespatou are constructing 50 maternity bat houses for the Bat Conservation Project in the Peace River area. This is a project in partnership with the Forest Land and Natural Resources Operations (Ministry of the Environment), Charlie Lake Conservation Society and Ducks Unlimited. The boxes the classes have created will be distributed to members of the community to provide a habitat for the bats while collecting data on the bats for the Ministry. This is a unique and exciting opportunity for the students. Community volunteers will be sought out shortly to take the responsibility as a bat box caretaker.
