Marion Center Project Earth kicked off its first ever “Cakes for Drakes” bake sale fundraiser at Tractor Supply in Indiana, PA this afternoon. Students involved are part of a subset of Project Earth Students known as the "Project Marsh" Team. Partnering with Ducks Unlimited, these students made a monetary donation to DU in the fall in order to support wetland conservation in North America, a resource which provides clean drinking water as well as habitat for wildlife... Like ducks! As member of Project Marsh, these students had to run a fundraiser in order to fund the purchasing, building, and installing of wood duck nesting boxes on waterways across Indiana County, Pennsylvania. They did a heck of a job, earning over $600 dollars and coming up with enough funds for the future installment of ten future nest boxes! When that activity comes to fruition, I'll be sure to send pictures of the installation process!
