Pipestone Creek is a unique landscape. Forested land is sandwiched between Coal Lake and Pipestone Creek itself, offering stunning view of the creek. In this area, wildlife also flourish, and EALT has set up numerous bird boxes to help them out. It is home to many bird species, including Tree Swallows and House Wrens. It is time to clean out old nesting material from the bird boxes to make room for next years occupants, and we need your help! Tasks will include carrying tools, fresh sawdust, and help clean out old nesting material.
Update: If we finish cleaning nest boxes early, we will fix some broken signs and do some light clipping for trail maintenance. These activities are optional.
We will meet at Pipestone Creek at 9:30 am, and leave the site by 3 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.
Stewardship events are weather-dependent and subject to cancellation.
