OWL NESTING BOX WORKSHOP Owls are nature’s natural rodent removal service but many have trouble finding adequate places to nest. During this workshop, participants will learn to identify owls found in South Texas, discover the many benefits owls have on the environment, uncover common threats to owls and create an owl nesting box to install at their home. Class size will be limited to 10 nest boxes but couples/families may attend together. We ask that registered participants bring up to 4 additional attendees.
