Commission scopes 2027 birdhouse and bat-house project; requests DPW consultation via Township Committee
Summary
Members discussed scoping a 2027 birdhouse/bat-house project (sites, 10–15 ft pole installation, funding sources including NRCS grants and sponsors) and agreed Tara Mezzanotte will request Township Committee permission to consult DPW about surplus materials.
Commission members discussed scoping a community birdhouse and bat-house build for 2027, identifying candidate locations (Tunnel Field, Ramsaysburg, township river beaches) and stressing correct installation height (10–15 ft poles) to ensure safety and effectiveness. Project ideas included asking DPW about surplus materials (for example, retired sign poles), seeking sponsors and inquiring about NRCS grant opportunities; a needs list and cost estimate are to be developed by December for the 2027 budget request.
Rather than approaching DPW directly, the Commission agreed Tara Mezzanotte will ask the Township Committee at an upcoming meeting for permission to consult DPW about surplus materials. Members assigned Rick Clarkson, Jim Ashe and Michelle St. Andre to scope the project’s sites, design, sponsors and cost estimate.
