Congratulations to these AWESOME eco-bees, the Purple Martin team,  who won top prize of $1000 for their project and presentation in Earth Force's Caring for our Watersheds Chesapeake Bay competition. 

The project consists of erecting a Purple Martin Tower at two locations- one at Herndon Elementary School, and the other at Lake Frederick, VA.  The goal is to attract Purple Martin birds to both of these locations.  This 5th grade team from HES competed with MS teams from across the entire Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
