My Project

Help give my students the tools and materials that they can use to build Owl Nesting Boxes!

These boxes will be used to safely house wild Barn Owls for observation and conservation!

We also hope to be able to provide these boxes to local ranches and farms as an alternative to other forms of pest control.

The boxes are designed to house Barn Owls, keeping them safe from predators. Having the ability to observe Barn Owls will be an amazing opportunity for students to learn about the local wildlife and ecosystems!
