After all of my work in Texas getting my first 11 panels into the ground, I was able to submit my Gold Award Application! However, I am not done with this project yet. There are still more panels to design, activities to build, and events to plan!
My goal is to complete the final 7 panels by September so that they can be printed and shipped to Texas to be installed before the Grand Opening during October. I hope that these will be easier to create, as most will require less work to procure:
- Introduction to the Forest Edge trail
- Introduction to the Water’s Edge trail
- Introduction the the Meadow trail
- Birds on the Powerline
- Camouflage
- Finding Food
- Feathers in Flight
The past week after getting home from Texas, I have created sketches of each of the panels, and now I have begun drawing birds to go onto the “Introduction to the Forest Edge” Panel. Here’s what I have so far!
