Project: Wood Duck Nesting
County: Winn
WWA’s Valley Chapter was excited to partner with two seniors from Neenah High School, Lauren and Josie, who led and facilitated a wood duck nesting project as part of their School Leadership project. Both Lauren and Josie facilitated the construction of over 30 nesting boxes at two CESA 6 (Cooperative Education Service Agency) K-12 schools.

This project involved over 40 students from the Winchester and Amity Schools within CESA 6.
The students at both schools received an introductory presentation which discussed the importance of nesting boxes, and also saw a video of “jump day.” Vie the presentation here: Personal project presentation.
This project was coordinated by both High School students with the donation of kits from the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association. Onsite support and assistance for the students was provided by the WWA Valley Chapter and CESA 6 staff.
The collaborative partnership between Neenah School District, CESA 6, and WWA made this event possible.
Nesting boxes will be installed this spring in three different location in Winnebago and Outagamie Counties.
