Louth Barn Owl Project Fundraiser

 

Hello there. Louth Barn Owl Project is a volunteer project set up in October 2021 to help increase Barn Owl numbers in Co. Louth, Ireland. We aim to work alongside landowners to provide and manage secure and suitable locations, where Barn Owls can live, hunt and raise their young safely. Our small team of volunteers work tirelessly to contribute to raising awareness of these beautiful birds each day.

 

Sadly, our application to receive financial assistance from the local funds was unsuccessful. Still, we have dusted ourselves off and are getting on with what we have enjoyed doing so much to date, doing what we can to help the Co Louth's Barn Owl population.

 

We are all volunteers. We do not receive any funding to cover fuel costs, equipment or materials, and we will figure something out. We are setting up a Go Fund Me Page for Louth Barn Owl Project, and we hope that the good people of Louth and beyond can help us prepare for the breeding season ahead.

 

We need items like safety equipment, a few cameras to monitor a nest box (all under license with NPWS), fuel costs, a ladder, a trailer to carry gear when we travel to hang up nest boxes, purchasing plywood and screws to make nest boxes, and much more.

 

Every donation will go towards helping us to find and record existing nesting and roosting sites in the wee county, as well as the hunting grounds used by Barn Owls. We also want to identify more areas where nest boxes could be hung to help the Barn Owl increase their range here.
