Purpose: Increase the population of endangered  Karner Blue Butterflies in Adams Co.

Observation: Site visit by U.S Fish and Wildlife and NRCS confirmed the lack of habitat for the endangered Karner Blue Butterfly.

 

Problem: How does one increase the population of the endangered Blue Karner Butterflies in Adams Co?

Hypothesis: If the students of Adams - Friendship Area Schools, working with the US fish and Wildlife and the NRCS, restore 15 acres of the Strong Prairie School Forest, by selective timber reduction and invasive species eradication, then there will be a 90% increase of wildlife including the endangered Karner Blue Butterflies.
