About the project
Making a House for Owls
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Xinglong community is located in the southeastern part of Taichung City. It’s near the mountain and has abundant natural resources. Hand in hand with the Taichung Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre, the community built 20-30 nest boxes for Collard Scops Owls from used wooden crates, and hung the boxes near a hundred-year-old tree in the community. We hope we can invite more people from different cultures to work together in this project, and introduce new ideas into this community industry.
Aims:
We invite volunteers to come to our community to help preserve our natural heritages, and broaden our horizons on ecological conservation.
1. To conserve animals and the environment with local volunteers.
2. To share your thoughts of wildlife conservation with local volunteers.
3. Participants will visit the Disability Care Center and join some activities in this center to understand about the social security in Taiwan.
