Celebrate the arrival of spring by helping local wildlife! Community members of all ages are warmly invited to join biologists from the Sunshine Coast Wildlife Project to build their own bat houses, swallow nest boxes, owl nest boxes, or mason bee homes from easy-to-assemble kits.
Homes for Wildlife workshops will take place on Saturday March 25 at Frank West Hall in Gibsons, Sunday March 26 at Coopers Green Hall in Halfmoon Bay, Saturday April 1 at Mission Point House in Davis Bay, and Sunday April 2 at the Tranquility Garden behind the EarthFair Store in Madeira Park.
Drop by any time between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. during any of these events to build a box, chat about local wildlife, or learn how to get involved in local habitat stewardship and wildlife monitoring activities. Kits take about 30 minutes to assemble, and ready-made nest boxes will also be available. Cost for materials is $25 for swallow boxes and $40 for all other boxes.
