Fifth-Graders Make Protecting Birds Their Cause

The 5th grade classes from Wrightsville Beach Elementary School have been studying the nesting colonies at the south end of Wrightsville Beach for several years.  As a part of this project they design imaginative, colorful, informative posters that the Harbor Island Garden Club then make available as signs for the postings that protect our nesting birds.

This weekend over 36 new signs were hung along the symbolic fencing that protects our birds.  So the next time you're on the beach you can enjoy the students' art show while our birds put on their own "performance art" show!

How many Bird Stewards does it take to hang a sign? :)

Our newest signs.....
