It will be a weekend devoted to helping wildlife at the Sechelt Legion on Nov. 12 and 13. The Sunshine Coast Wildlife Project is inviting residents of all ages to drop by any time between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to learn about how they can help wildlife at home and in the community.
Community members can build their own bat house, owl, swallow or duck nest box, flying squirrel box, or Mason bee home from an easy-to-assemble kit with the assistance of Wildlife Project volunteers.
Those who already have Mason bee homes can bring in their tubes or blocks for assistance cleaning their cocoons and guidance about winter care of the bees.
Residents can nominate sites for shoreline restoration or pond enhancement, learn how to become wildlife habitat stewards, volunteer with wildlife monitoring efforts, or pick up stewardship information about how to care for wildlife and habitats on the Sunshine Coast.
The Wildlife Project gratefully acknowledges Sunshine Coast Community Foundation, the Sunshine Coast Regional District, Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, Public Conservation Assistance Fund, Habitat Stewardship Program, Wildlife Habitat Canada, and Fish and Wildlife Compensation Fund for supporting their wildlife stewardship efforts.
