It's all part of a deal the part-time science teacher at Rockford Christian School made with the students, who earned and collected thousands of dollars for a trip this summer to Teton Science Schools in Jackson, Wyo.
He calls it Operation Squirrel.
Buth used ropes and pulleys on Monday to ascend a tree on school property. The Grand Rapids Press says he took along his hammock, a tarp and some other items.
On Wednesday, he'll descend 30 or so feet to fulfill his teaching responsibilities while still in the tree.
Operation Squirrel concludes Thursday morning.
