Kestrel nesting box added to the Tree Trail

By |

If you’re not familiar with the Holcomb Farm Tree Trail located on the hill across from the entrance to the North Barn event facility, this would be a good time to check out its newest addition. It’s not a new tree—it’s a kestrel nest box placed 12 feet in the air, on the right a short way up the entrance trail.

Members of the Holcomb Farm Tree Trail team cast an invitation to anyone interested in becoming a volunteer or in expanding their already existing volunteer role on the trail to meet at the Farm’s workshop on March 14. Several folks arrived that morning to learn about the tree trail and what part they might play in maintaining it.
