Abstract
As a rehabilitation effort to restore songbird activity in the migratory bird corridor behind Zane Middle School in Eureka, The Songbird Refuge was commissioned. This project created songbird boxes, some traditional, some experimental, to add preexisting housing for migratory birds as well as supplement a new bird oriented curriculum in the school's science classes. The Refuge was designed by The Applicateers, four Cal Poly Humboldt students who took Engr205 Introduction to Design during their Spring 2014 semester: Cavanaugh Carter, Christian Cota, Ben Voelz, and Jennie Warmack. By working with Steve Wartburg, a biologist and science teacher at Zane Middle School, The Songbird Refuge was tailored to meet the needs of the school and community.
