We're always impressed with young people making a difference. So when a group of students from Moruya High School were looking to get stuck in to an environmental program, Council's environment team new exactly what to do – make nest boxes for WIRES!
Our team took the students to check out existing nest boxes, looking at different types and the ways they are made. During the excursion you could see the students excitement grow. We provided the right plans and building materials to get these enthusiastic young people started and it was lovely to see the finished product handed over to WIRES volunteers.
The student-made nest box has already made a difference. Two kookaburra babies were reunited with their family after WIRES volunteers put them in one of the boxes and secured it to a tree in a Tomakin backyard.
