KATHERINE KASACEK
Norfolk, CT

For her Gold Award project, Katherine learned about bats and the challenges they face.  She assembled the materials needed to build 23 bat houses and enlisted the help of a local carpenter and neighborhood friends to construct them. Katherine also set up an educational bat program to inform members of the community about the declining bat population and provide them with ways to help the under-appreciated animals. Katherine plans to attend Hartwick College in the fall.
