📝 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 hanged the boxes near a hundred-year-old tree in the community. We hope we can get more people from different cultures to work together in this project, and introduce new ideas into this community industry.
