His elementary students identified about 1000 species in the little bog at Beechwood and won awards. I lost touch with Michel, not sure where he ended up. Some contact info on the 2nd website.</div>

<div dir="ltr">One of my schools (Notre Dame) developed bird houses and feeders for the Macoun Marsh project in the corner of Beechwood Cemetary a couple years back. You can see the variety built there. The students had to research types of birds and their desired residences. Attached is a PDF guide that might help you...<div>
