For the last two weeks, students have done a great job of using tools safely and responsibly during ECO. Last week we learned about woodpeckers and made woodpecker "beaks" using peelers to whittle sticks.  We used hand drills to start holes in fallen trees and then used hammers to simulate woodpeckers tapping into the trees.  This week we learned about beavers and used hand saws to cut branches from fallen trees (winter logging at our site left an abundance), which we used to create a giant beaver lodge.
