Help Us Build a Future for Barn Owls in Meath

A recent survey conducted by BirdWatch Ireland’s Meath Branch has revealed a troubling statistic: only six breeding pairs of Barn Owls remain in Co. Meath. This stark decline highlights the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect these magnificent birds and ensure their survival in our landscapes.

One effective way to support Barn Owls is through the installation of nesting boxes, which can provide safe breeding sites and help increase their population. With your help, the Meath Branch of BirdWatch Ireland can make a significant impact.

HERE’S HOW YOUR DONATION WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE:

• Purchase Materials for Barn Owl Boxes: Funds will be allocated to buy high-quality materials necessary for constructing sturdy and effective nesting boxes that can withstand the elements.
• Installation of Nesting Boxes: We will coordinate the installation of these boxes in strategic locations where Barn Owls are known to hunt and breed, maximizing their chances of occupancy.
• Create Educational Materials: We will develop informative resources aimed at local farmers and communities to raise awareness about the dangers of rodenticides and promote alternative pest control methods that are safer for Barn Owls and other wildlife.

By supporting this initiative, you’ll be playing a vital role in reversing the decline of Barn Owls in Meath. Every contribution counts, and together, we can create a safer and more supportive environment for these incredible birds.

Thank you for considering this important cause. Your generosity will help ensure that the haunting call of the Barn Owl continues to grace our fields for generations to come.
