LTHS STEM students give back with birdhouse project
Submitted by Lockport
Township High School
Students have been hard at
work at Lockport Township
High School Central Campus
during the past six weeks.
That is because Lockport
Township High School STEM
Exploration students have partnered
with the Illinois Department
of Natural Resources and
Cog Hill Golf Course to create
bluebird houses and bat boxes to
use on their properties.
In February, three state parks
and Cog Hill agreed to supply
materials for students to use
for this endeavor. The students
agreed to not only build the specified
wildlife habitat projects,
but to donate them back to these
areas for the public to enjoy. The
three state parks included Walnut
Point State Park in Oakland, Illinois;
Lincoln Trail State Park in
Marshall; and Kankakee River
State Park in Bourbonnais. A total
of 90 bluebird houses and 60
The birdhouses included LTHS
inscriptions.
bat boxes were manufactured.
The freshmen logged hundreds
of man hours toward the
effort. They learned design,
woodworking and manufacturing
skills while giving back to
the community.
Members of a STEM class at Lockport Township High School’s Central Campus show off some of the
birdhouses they created in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
