Bunchberry Meadows is filled with rolling meadows and patches of birch, Jack pine, and mixedwood forest. This 640-acre area supports many birds and other wildlife, and we have enhanced habitat for birds by installing many nest boxes for Tree Swallows, Mountain Bluebirds, and House Wrens. We now need to clean out old nesting material from the bird boxes to make room for next years occupants, and we need your help! With just under 100 boxes to clean, we need as many helping hands as we can get.
We will meet at Bunchberry Meadows at 9:30 am and finish by 2 pm. Wear appropriate footwear and long pants, and bring a lunch, water, hat, and a camera or binoculars if you'd like. If you have your own gloves to bring we recommend that you do so, but otherwise tools and gloves will be provided. Additional information will be sent to you several days in advance of the event.
UPDATE: In support of public health and the health and safety of EALT staff and volunteers, EALT is requiring proof of vaccination for our stewardship events. Please plan ahead by saving a digital copy of your vaccination record on your phone or printing it out and bringing your record to the event.
If you have not yet completed your second dose, please plan to join a stewardship event once you are fully vaccinated. If you have a medical exemption or have youth under 12 who are not yet eligible for the vaccine, please contact EALT in advance of registration.
For more information on accessing your vaccination records, visit https://www.alberta.ca/covid19-vaccine.aspx. You can download or print your record in the express system at: https://www.albertavaccinerecord.ca/#/
We thank you for supporting public health and the health of EALT staff and volunteers in this challenging time.
