Back on September 13 ECEC went to participate in National Public Lands Day at Okatibbee Resivour. We met up with Mr. Gary Hardin at Okatibbee. Mr. Hardin works for the U.S. Army Core of Engineers there at Okatibbee. He is our liaison with Okatibbee. He always has wonderful projects for us and works so well with our students, making sure to teach them the ecological importance of whatever project it is that he has 
for us that day. Let me go ahead and say that we really appreciate him.
for us that day. Let me go ahead and say that we really appreciate him.This year at NPLD the group worked on setting up Bluebird boxes. Mr. Gary had the boxes built and ready for us, so all we had to do was put them up. We used T posts, drove them in the ground, and attached the bird boxes to the post. We put up between 20-30 bluebird boxes.
After the hard work was finished we met up at Cove's Nest Marina for lunch. We ate some hot dogs, chips, and cokes. Afterward we won door prizes, they ranged from t-shirts to fishin' poles.
All in all we had a great time at National Public Lands Day. We always do.
If anyone has anything to add to this then e-mail me.
