Eagle View Nature Center:
Pequot Lakes, MN

Spring has sprung. Eagle View Nature Center is in bloom. This nature center, located in Pequot Lakes, MN is part of the school. Plans were in place for developing the nature center when they built the school in the country. It is a busy and active outdoor learning space. In addition to Red Emperor Tulips grown each year for the Journey North Tulip Garden project they have many growing beds, ponds with Canada geese, wild ducks, tame ducks, etc. They also plant and tend a 150 square foot garden. In the fall the students sell produce they have grown.

Mrs. Killdeer decided to nest in the courtyard for the second year. She is doing a great job of the broken wing trick.


Can you see the Killdeer nest?	Mrs. Killdeer roosts on her nest. Someone is protecting her by marking the nest site.	Mrs. Killdeer fakes a broken wing to detract attention away from her nest.

Outdoor education is an important component at Eagle View Elementary. Students and teachers have an opportunity to extend their lessons and learning into the cycle of the seasons.
