LIVE Food Chain!

Students from Washington Middle School for Girls get up close to a Burmese Python.

Over the past month our friends from Earth Conservation Corps (ECC) presented special programs to our Buddy Bison students.

ECC's Daryl Wallace visited several D.C. schools with a LIVE food chain featuring raptors, snakes, and small mammals. Washington Middle School for Girls (WMSG) all welcomed Daryl and his programs.  

Michael Kelley, a science teacher from WMSG said this to me about the visit:

"Many thanks to you and your colleague from the ECC for yesterday's exciting introduction to the natural wonders of our area. Nothing like a red-tailed hawk ready for flight and a live pooping exhibition by a Cooper's hawk to get the students' attention!"

Thank you Daryl and the ECC for bringing park experiences to our students during the cold winter months!
