Coates is a stunning EALT Conservation Land that incorporates beautiful mixedwood forest, steep valley, trickling creek, and history (fossils!). We have installed around 30 nest boxes for chickadees and wrens at Coates, and now is the time to clean them out so next years occupants are happy and healthy. While we are here, we will also install 3 signs to help guide visitors around this beautiful land.
If we have time and interested volunteers we may remove a small section of barbed wire on our way out, so that visitors and wildlife can cross this land safely!
We will meet at Coates at 9:00 am, and leave the site by 2 pm. Wear appropriate footwear and long pants, and bring a lunch, water, hat, sunscreen/bugspray, 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.
While we resume our volunteer stewardship events, we are committed to implementing actions to comply with public health measures and workplace guidance to reduce risk of COVID-19 among staff, volunteers, and the general public. We will also be implementing updated EALT health and safety policies and procedures to support a safe work and volunteer environment. Please read our guidelines for volunteering during COVID-19 here. We thank you for your understanding and support as we roll out these safety measures.
Stewardship events are weather-dependent and subject to cancellation.
