Support GCWS!
Bluebird + Wood Duck Boxes One
of GCWS's first projects was to repopulate Northwest Ohio with Eastern
Bluebirds. This started out as a
small project, but has grown tremendously.
Currently, Green Creek has the largest Bluebird trail in Ohio with over
600 boxes. They are all maintained
and check weekly by club members during the breeding season.
We
also have the largest private Wood Duck Trail in Ohio with over 100 boxes.
Every box is sponsored by individuals or companies. Bluebird boxes can be sponsored for $25 and a Wood Duck box for $40. These are lifetime sponsorships. GCWS makes the boxes and then places them in appropriate habitats. Members monitor them throughout the year and the young are then banded. If
you would like to sponsor a box or find out more information, please e-mail Tom
Kashmer at:
Rail Traps We are also looking to expand our Rail trap project. Traps themselves cost $100-200, and the solar panels, MP3 players and other equipment add another $300. Any funds donated towards this project would be greatly appreciated.
