VOLUNTEER FOR A BLUEBIRD TRAIL

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO OPERATE A BLUEBIRD TRAIL ​

GVAS has recently received a generous gift from CPW through Dan Neubaum in the form of a large number of beautifully made cedar Bluebird nest boxes. So, we are looking for anyone who might be interested in establishing and operating a Bluebird trail. This would include setting up a route, obtaining permission to borrow a few fence posts, and monitoring, and maintaining the boxes. Once the boxes are up, all they really require is to be cleaned out in the fall or early spring. Operating a trail is a rewarding experience, helping these beautiful,  but declining populations of birds find a convenient place to nest, learning about and recognizing the other species of birds who may use the nest boxes, and offering landowners a free source of insect control. 
For further information, contact GVAS, or Mark and Denise Vollmar

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR WATERING TREES

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR COTTONWOOD WATERING –
​CAN YOU HELP?

The 30 young, caged cottonwood trees planted in the Audubon Preserve on Earth Day, 2022 near the north pond and Colorado River are looking great!  We have many folks to thank, with special mention to Yancey Melancon for repairing our water pump and setting up a water tank adjacent to these trees for ease of watering.
As the temperatures rise heading into summer these young trees will need twice weekly watering. If you have a spare hour, it becomes a much easier task to fill a bucket and make the rounds to each tree.  Even easier if a friend can join you! You can volunteer for a specific day and watering time when it works best for YOU.
We are setting up a watering schedule BEGINNING JUNE 7TH and continuing each week into September.   If you can join us in this effort, please email:     audubonpreserve@gmail.com  with the DAY and approximate TIME you would volunteer.  Once received, you will receive an acknowledgement, some details about where to find the watering buckets and a thank you, or if the day is taken, another day would be offered.
THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP!!
