Third Grade Class Releases Pheasants
Third grade students from Mrs. Wilson’s and Mr. Porkolab’s classes recently made their annual visit to the Andrews Farm. The field trip is sponsored by Cameron County Outdoor Youth Activities (CCOYA) and the students help release pheasants that were hatched this spring in several of the Woodland Elementary School classrooms and raised by Fox Township Sportsman’s Club.
At the Andrews Farm the students learned a lot of cool facts about the pheasants from CCOYA Director Don Bickford. They learned how to tell the difference between males and females, what the pheasants’ diet consists of and the type of habitat they live in. The groups then hiked to the sorghum fields where some pheasants were released in the wild.
