Bowers Farm Update

Today in class, I checked in with my teacher to see if the representative from Bowers Farm had responded yet.  She had and I was pleasantly surprised by her reply.  I had been worried that I would be refused because of a fear that the bats could hurt students or because state laws would not permit it like at the IA.  However, I was completely wrong.  Bowers Farm refused my houses because they already had as many as they could handle!  Apparently, a few years ago, a boy did a similar project and installed at least a dozen houses throughout the farm.  Although I'm disappointed that I was unable to place my houses, I am happy that they have already been helping bats for years.  I learned that I shouldn't underestimate people's understanding of bats.  I'm often prone to thinking that nobody understands how important they are and that everyone fears them or thinks they are rats.  However, many people are aware of their usefulness and other positive attributes.
