A $1,000 grant from the Tri-C Community Unit Schools Foundation funds an outdoor science laboratory beside the new Carterville elementary school pond. Chip Lennox says the project will enhance science learning for pre K through fourth grade students with wetlands, wildlife, and aquatic habitats explored via stations and a small pier for dip-netting. Teachers from the elementary and intermediate schools will use the lab and about 18 staff plan to join Project Wild and Project Wet workshops at Crab Orchard refuge to expand environmental education. Retired refuge employees and local scouting groups will assist in building the lab.
