University High School students built, installed and taught their school community about bat boxes and the benefits of mosquito eating bats in their outdoor spaces. Students researched bat population conservation methods and found that bat boxes provide a safe haven and resting place for the animals. These bat boxes are an interactive educational tool and natural pest control for their Outdoor Classroom.

The "Don't Flip It! Save It!" project provided and promoted reusable water bottles instead of disposable ones at Smoky Row Elementary School. Students from the Smoky Row Green Team were happy to promote the bottles for the end of the year track and field day, where many disposable cups and water bottles are normally used.

Forty-nine volunteers from Boy Scout Troop 120 pulled invasive Japanese honeysuckle vines and replaced them with plants indigenous to Indiana to restore native habitats at River Road Park in Carmel. Led by Drew B. for his Eagle Scout project, the team logged in over 190 man hours of work. Japanese honeysuckle damages forest communities by out competing native vegetation for light, below-ground resources, and by changing forest structure, which endangers native plant and animal habitats.
