EVENT: WOOD DUCK BOX CLEANOUTS WITH DNR!



Field Experience: Cleaning Out Wood Duck Boxes with DNR at Rose Lake.

WHEN: This Sunday February 21 at the DNR office at Rose Lake.
9:00am~12:30pm
*We will meet at 8:15 behind the Natural Resources Building to sort out rides*

WHAT: We will be helping the DNR clean out the wood duck boxes they have around Rose Lake. The boxes are usually out on the water, so we need the ice to access them. We will be replacing the bedding, repairing the boxes if necessary and recording the number of egg shells. We will also be using GPS units to map out the locations of the boxes. This is another great volunteer activity to put on your resumes, while having a blast outside! We will most likely be provided lunch as well!

WHAT TO BRING: Warm clothes, boots

Note: We would prefer that people coming to this be dues paying members or become members soon.. Dues are only $10 for a lifetime of knowledge!
