Bird Nest Box Cleaning and Maintenance
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: BMN Bird Nest Box Cleaning and Maintenance
The annual task of preparing BMN’s swallow boxes for this season’s tenants will take place on three consecutive weekends (weather-permitting). People who are comfortable going up a stepladder or short extension ladders are needed, but we also need people to carry supplies and to record what we find in each box. There are always some surprises!
Saturday Feb 22 – ƛ̓éxətəm/Colony Farm boxes (two crews needed, 9am start)
Sunday March 2 – Minnekhada Farm (one crew needed, 9am start), and in the afternoon, crews needed at DeBoville Slough and Minnekhada Park.
Sunday March 9 – Widgeon (access to this location is not yet confirmed)
Each work party will last about 2 hours, except for the Widgeon, which will last 4 hours. If you’re interested in volunteering on any or all of these days, please send an email to BurkeMtnNats@gmail.com. The dates are weather dependent, so please sign up beforehand so you can receive updates, and meeting times and places.
