A lemonade stand, flyers, and a class trying to save two eagles
A class of fourth graders in California has started fundraising to help save the shoreline where their favorite bald eagles hunt. Their teacher, Sara Stinson, introduced her students last year to Jackie and Shadow, a mating pair monitored around the clock by a webcam run by Friends of Big Bear Valley. The class watched the eggs hatch. They watched the chicks grow. Then Stinson opened the livestream one day and learned that the last undeveloped stretch of Big Bear Lake shoreline, the eagles' hunting ground, was slated to become a luxury housing development unless local conservationists could raise $10 million to buy it.
