Bat Boxes, Raised Beds & Tawny Owl Nest Boxes - Woodwork Galore

From July 2025 to July 2026 with volunteer help we completely transformed the Garstang Hub under the Bolton's Fund with 35 bat boxes, 5 Tawny Owl Nest boxes and four new raised beds to replaced our old and rotten beds.

It was great fun teaching local families safe use of power tools to encourage and teach them how simple it can be to make wildlife habitats and growing beds, which we later grew our potatoes, onions and broadbeans.

The site improvements are essential to the continuation of the site but most importantly the work was done by local residents to create a real sense of ownership, building something they can be proud of in contributing to the site for many years to come.
