Come to the Folsom gym on Saturday, March 8th from 10am to 1pm to help build kestrel nest boxes! This project by the South Hero Conservation Commission was created as a local response to addressing the decline of the American Kestrel.
While the exact cause of their population loss is unknown, scientists are currently studying multiple potential culprits, which include loss of habitat, pesticides, climate change, and competition with other species. Kestrel nest box efforts have sprung up across the country in response to some data which indicate they may help with supporting localized populations.
The South Hero Conservation Commission is partnering with over 30 local residents to place nest boxes on their properties, and we need your help to construct the boxes! Please bring drills/drivers and bits, if you have them.
Hope to see you there! Questions? Email Conservation Commission chair Mark Naud at mnaudlaw AT gmail.com

UPDATED LOCATION: NOW MEETING AT THE ALLEN POINT ACCESS AREA
Join South Hero Land Trust on Wednesday January 1st, 2025, at 9:30 AM at the Allen Point Access Area for a casual walk along the Island Line Trail as we make our way down to celebrate the New Year on the beautiful Lake Champlain shoreline.
If there is enough snow, snowshoes can be handy, but are usually not necessary. Similarly, if the conditions are icy, microspikes, yaktrax or other traction devices can be helpful. The Worthen Library has kid and adult-sized showshoes for rent.
Contact guy@shlt.org if you have any questions or concerns about gear or anything else related to the walk. Between our staff, board and members, we can usually find someone with extra gear that is willing to lend it to a person in need, so that everyone who wants to come is able.
If you have any questions about the event, please email guy@shlt.org
