Throughout the summer, campers visited ExxonMobil’s Wildlife Education Building (WEB) to plant a garden of flowers, go on a nature scavenger hunt, and perform hands-on STEM activities, including water filtration experiments. The wildlife habitat team manages over 500 acres of wildflowers, grasslands, forests, wetlands, and swamps. The property is home to a variety of wildlife such as bluebirds, bats, rabbits, hummingbirds, and butterflies. It is also home to over 120 varieties of trees that provide environmental, ecological, and visual benefits to the community. They educate hundreds of local students at the WEB every year. ExxonMobil’s Wildlife Education Building & Arboretum are available for any school classes, clubs, or camps that are interested in visiting.
