Project Description

Project NEST

In 2023, A Rocha Ontario launched a new project to install and monitor more nestboxes with community support. This project is called “Project NEST” which stands for Nestbox Evidence Stewardship Training. Our goal is to increase habitat for breeding birds that are at risk in Southern Ontario. To do this, we work with eligible volunteer partners to put up our nest boxes on their property and support monitoring.

So far, we have partnered with 16 different sites and placed 35 nest boxes for 5 different bird species. These nest boxes were placed with local property owners, including schools, churches and private individuals!
