Secondary hollows | Workshop on the creation of sawdust concrete nesting boxes for urban birds

● Dates: 30.10 | Friday ● 17:00 — 19:00 ● Registration: Nikodem Krysztofowicz | n.krysztofowicz@gcsw.pl ● Host: Marcjanna Sokołowska ● Age category: 18+ (adults with children are welcome) ● Strajku Dokerów Street 5, Nowy Port

In the workshop we will talk about who the secondary holipworms are, what are the problems of birds in cities and how they can be helped on a small scale. We will learn how to create nesting boxes in which urban birds will want to live and in which places to hang them so that it is safe for them. During the practical part, we will learn how to create sawdust concrete and we will make nesting boxes from it, which, after drying, can be collected and installed in the next breeding season. You don't have to have experience — a guide will guide you through the entire process. The workshop is aimed at adults. Parents who wish to attend the workshop can be accompanied by their children.
