About this Event

Join Wind Wolves staff as we install artificial dens for burrowing owls and kit foxes along portions of our Red-tailed Trail.

Work may be labor intensive as it will involve using hand tools, primarily shovels and rock bars.

Funds acquired for this project are thanks to a grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and a donor.
