If you own, manage, or farm a property with a stream, you can help save farmland raptors while enhancing the value and enjoyment of your land.
Raptors are important indicators of environmental health and benefit farmers by preying on mice, voles, and insects, but in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, their populations are declining due to habitat loss and changes in land use.
To restore them, Stroud Water Research Center and Hawk Mountain Sanctuary are partnering to provide free nest boxes to qualifying landowners. Participants in the Stroud Center’s Streamside Tree Planting Program can have Hawk Mountain erect nest boxes for barn owls and American kestrels on their lands at no cost to them.
