Inspiring People to Care for the Earth

 

 Starved Rock Project

 

With the help of the Eco Club sponsor at York HS, Bob Blaus, Eco Club students made bat houses from scrap wood. They built 40 bat houses and delivered them in March, to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. York's bat houses will be installed at Starved Rock State Park and along the I and M Canal in Utica.
