Hi Observers,
I did have a brilliant, in my opinion, plan about putting up bird boxes for the micro community of which I am a resident.
This would also be beneficial for the wider community including children. I gained permission to put up as many as
was practical, with a stipulation that no screws, nails or bolts would be used which will damage the trees. Fair enough.
This are 30 established trees in the middle of a village.
This was in late 2019 and everything was looking good to go to the first stage. Raising funds.
Then in March 2020 something happened. The rug was tugged from under my feet.
Fast forward to December 2021. I had to start again. Fortunately I got permission again. That is where I am now.
So, my reason for tapping into your extensive knowledge is this. What next?
My initial thoughts were to A) Raise funds to pay for them (the bird boxes). B) Find someone of an organisation to make them (including schools). C) Put them up.
Taking it at one stage at a time, as this is a longer term project, how do I raise funds?
Does anyone reading this have experience of getting money? I will greatly appreciate their help.
My thoughts are do I establish a not for profit group? A charity? A club? A resident association? Another? How do I do this?
Can any one of you help or point me in the right direction please?
Hopefully,
Hooky.

No worries, thankfully I've managed to move on, not quite as smoothly as would have been liked.
As for photos, you never stop learning, there is always something around the corner to throw out those golden rules, just like life I guess.
If ever you need any help with photography, or wildlife, there are plenty here who will be more than willing to help where they can, so just ask away.
