Join Proper Job and make a nest box For National Nest Box Week! This FREE, fun family workshop takes place on Tuesday 17th February at The Clubhouse, War Memorial Playing Fields, Chagford.
Many of us are aware of how vital it is to feed our garden birds, but it’s also just as important that they have a suitable shelter and site for breeding. With natural habitats such as trees and hedgerows being lost to development, some of our garden birds struggle to find a safe shelter to rear their young. With the nesting season not that far away, our garden birds will be starting to prepare for their busiest time of year.
We will making as many bird boxes as possible to install in the parishes of Chagford, Moreton and surrounding areas. Families and children are welcome to come and make a bird box for their garden as well as boxes to be installed in the community spaces.
