One of the channels that Callie and Carter periodically watch on TV has been advertising the Earth Rangers for the past few months. One of the regular commercials has been about the option to become an Earth Ranger by raising money for one of their causes. The two that Callie and Carter were interested in were the Peregrin Falcon and the Brown Bat. Both are threatened species and depending on how much you raise you become an Earth Ranger and they send you souvenir for your troubles.
The original goal was to try to raise $150 for each as it would get them a small stuffed animal though that may be a bit steep. Our first project was to build some bird houses and sell them to family members. We made six of them for $15 each and so far they have sold four. The bird house matched nicely with the Peregrin Falcon. The other project is intended to be a bat house for the Brown Bat. I haven't quite found a plan I like but when I do it should be a quick build. Some paint and some salesmanship from the kids and we should get closer to our goal.
