VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: BMN 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 days in February (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 21 – ƛ̓éxətəm/Colony Farm (two crews needed, 9am start)
Wednesday Feb 25 – Widgeon (access to this location is not yet confirmed)
Saturday Feb 28 – Minnekhada Farm and Minnekhada Park (one crew in each location, 9am start), and in the afternoon, one crew needed at DeBoville Slough.
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 details of meeting times and places.
