We need some help to prepare
the nesting site for our Black Skimmer and Royal Terns that have lost their
nest due to high water. These birds will be looking for new nesting areas that
are not underwater and the area we create will replicate nesting habitats of a
graveled shoreline, but will contain extra protection from predators to help
ensure chick survival. We need your help to get this area fenced and put
our handsome decoys out to attract these birds!
Black Skimmer Nest
Workday: Monday June 20th (8:30am-12:00pm) we will be putting
in t-posts, unrolling chain link fencing, installing the chain link, unrolling
and putting up the electric wire, installing gates, putting up electric fencing
controller and placing the decoys. Volunteers should wear long pants and MUST
wear protective footwear- preferably boots. We will provide water and snacks,
please bring a refillable water bottle to limit our plastic foot print.
Thank you!
