The purpose of Gulf Coast RC&D's Partners in Wildlife Conservation Project is to promote wildlife conservation and education by providing high school students within the Council service area with educational experience. Students have constructed bat houses and duck boxes while learning the importance of wildlife in our environments.

2023 was the third year for our Partners in Wildlife Conservation program. This program seeks to conserve and protect wildlife habitats. This multifaceted project provides an educational opportunity for students to learn more about wildlife conservation by partnering with area schools to encourage the production of wildlife habitats. This year, more than 40 duck boxes were distributed throughout Mobile, Baldwin, and Escambia counties. We also began a beekeeping program with W.S. Neal High School to learn more about beekeeping.
