Build an Eagle Nest

Event Description: Workday at Bray CA from 12:00 until 4:00 pm. We will be building a permanent eagle nest down in the pre-school zone area. Wear work gloves and contact Pat Perry if you think you might have materials that can be woven into the nest. We plan on using cedar saplings for the framework tied together with rope. Then we will interweave branches, grapevine, honeysuckle and wisteria to fill out the nest. We will leave a gap in the back for the kids (of all ages) to climb in and out. Dress appropriate for the weather.

Event Location: Bray Conservation Area

Event Time: 12:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Please let Connie Schmiedeskamp or Pat Perry know if you plan on attending.
