Natural Resources Update by Macie Zeller


During this time period if you walk by our class we would be doing Taxidermy. Taxidermy is the process of taking the insides out of mammals and stuffing them with cotton after all the fat and skin is cleaned out. This quarter we also learned about skulls. We learned how to age and tell the difference of the animal. We saw the skulls of various mammals such as deer, dogs, cats, minks, squirrels, eastern chipmunks and various different wildlife animals. Another thing we did is work on our home wildlife plan. In this plan we did a power point on animal census and planning for how we can get animals attracted to our yards. We pretended that we had all the money in the world to do this plan and most of our plans are coming out very well. We also studied very hard to get our greenhand and chapter degrees. It was hard work but everybody in Natural Resources received a degree. It was a fun period of the school year and we look forward to moving on in the year with more fun and lots of activities.
