The Wildewood Springs 2A Board of Directors is raising funds to install two owl nesting boxes to contribute to natural ways of controlling the vermin population as care for this incredible habitat we share with others. The HOA has the funds to buy the nesting boxes, however, this campaign allows the community to learn and contribute together. Donations of any amount are invited.
