SUMMARY:Lots about nestboxes

We will have prices and contact details for purchasing.\nHow to maintain boxes and common problems associated with nest box projects.\n\nWe will also showcase some of the latest monitoring camera technology (pole camera) and inspect some of the boxes located in the primary school reserve. \nOur presenter Jim Blackney has been involved in nest box projects throughout the North East and is co-author of the “Nest Box Guide for North East Victoria” produced by Swamps Rivers and Ranges. \nThe first part of the session will be in the hall\, then afternoon tea\, and the second part next door looking at the nest boxes in the school grounds. \nWear strong covered in shoes.
