John constructed a nature walk at Beaumont School for his eagle project. The project involved clearing land, building bird houses and a feeder, planting a wild flower garden, planting trees, and labeling various trees. His project provides the students as opportunity to observe the seasonal activities of birds, from nesting to watching the young leave home. The wild flower garden attracts birds and butterflies. The students can also learn about the trees in the area by reading the informational plaques.
John is planning to attend college next year to study engineering.
