The next phase of the Club’s Environment project is in full swing! John, John, Ian, Nicky, and President Andrew are hard at work assembling bird boxes. We have a variety of materials on hand, including numerous sheets of plywood—some purchased and donated by Australian Timber, as well as recycled sheets from Woodhouse. These will be turned into nesting boxes for the Scouts at Woodhouse. Each box is specifically designed for a particular species, and we’re creating different styles and sizes to cater to them all.
As of March 17, 2025, we’ve already produced:
- 4 Barn Owl boxes
- 6 Kookaburra boxes
- 5 Black Cockatoo boxes
- 5 Pardalote boxes
We’re making great progress, but there’s still a lot of wood to cut, drill, and flatpack before we’re finished. We’d love to have more hands to help before JC heads off. If you’re interested in joining us in the workshop, we welcome any newcomers! We hope to see you at one or more of our upcoming sessions.”
