On Sunday March 18th members of the Georgian Bay Get Outdoors club erected
25 wood duck nesting boxes at 5 locations in the local area to provide
nesting locations for wood ducks and various other birds. One group
partnered with the Coldwater Conservation Club and 9 boxes were set up in
the Matchedash Marsh area. Youth members also help clean out, examine and
record the contents of the 50 boxes that are already in the Marsh. In
addition to Matchedash Marsh, boxes were erected with the assistance of
landowners, in the Midland, Hillsdale and Coldwater area as well as at the
ponds at the Georgian Bay Hunters and Anglers Club in Midland. This will be
an on going stewardship project for our members as they will maintain and
review nesting box contents annually.
