About this Event

Weasel box making workshop

Come join us at the Barnstaple Pannier Market for a fun and hands-on weasel box making workshop! Learn how to craft your own weasel boxes while enjoying the company of fellow nature enthusiasts. This event is perfect for all skill levels, whether you're a seasoned woodworker or a complete beginner. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to create a cosy home for our furry friends.

North Devon National Trust have been improving the quality of the habitat on Woolacombe Down, turning it from land used for grazing and agriculture into a place with more varied habitats, greater biodiversity and able to support a wider range of species.

This work has resulted in a habitat that is great for rabbits and small mammals as well as birds. Combine an abundance of food with the collapsed walls, and in theory, you have some perfect weasel habitat.

To help support any weasels that are currently on the Down, and to encourage more we will be building & installing these boxes across the site. The hope is that these will not only provide them with safe nesting space but will also allow for monitoring of the population.

There will be an opportunity to instal the boxes in the wild, with free transport to and from Barnstaple. Please see our other event to book.

Please note that you must be 16 and over to attend this event and live in the North Devon council area.
