Something different... Bat boxes.

We have to take down some -nearly dead and hollow- american oak near the roadside. One problem is that there are a lot of bats roosting in them and we can't get the permission to fell them unless we place roosting boxes in the remaining trees.

 

Soooow, a few minutes google-ing to find building plans for bat boxes and half a day making them with some local kids left us with enough boxes to put up in the trees. Fun little project.ImageUploadedByArbtalk1431198937.769123.jpg.62f48364e134679b206151e1dd8d8d00.jpg

Lol the kids will love it their only 6 to 8 years of age. Might even set up a climbing line for them to help with installation

 

My elder daughter got invested into Beavers on Monday. They would love something like that. Should make for a very rewarding evening.
