Program Notes from the Jan 24, 2009 Meeting of LKWA
January 24, 2009 at 8:00 am
Newville DNR Station
We enjoyed our annual nest box assembly program with 15 persons in attendance.
Bill Bendig pre-cut 50 boxes for Wood Ducks and assembled 25 of them. He also constructed sturdy wooden platforms for Mallard nest rolls. Our volunteers assembled the Mallard rolls made of coir mats (coconut fiber) rolled into wire mesh fencing. We also assembled 25 Wood Duck boxes. The coir matting and steel poles for mounting nest structures were donated.
When we got hungry, we enjoyed brownies provided by dessert chef Susan Yates.
Our next meeting is February 24 at 6:00 pm at the Milton Township Hall in Milton (23 First St). The program will be "Koshkonong March, it’s History and Future" presented by Charlie Killan, DNR wildlife biologist. Please come and learn how we can enjoy and support this Koshkonong treasure.

Penny Shackelford, Secretary-Treasurer
