Wildlife boxes – December ’08
On Sunday 7th the Caithness Countryside Volunteers and members of the pubic joined forces to build a range of wildlife boxes, including bat and tree sparrow boxes. The boxes will be distributed across the county in attempts to create useful habitat. The wildlife box build was organised by the countryside rangers as part of the Caithness Countryside Volunteers programme of events and is one of 24 projects being undertaken in Highland with assistance from the Highland Biodiversity Partnership. It is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Highland Council, Scottish Natural Heritage, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and RSPB Scotland. After building our boxes we enjoyed a nice lunch at the Northern Sands Hotel.
