Guidelines for the Wood Duck Project

As part of the ongoing restructuring of the Wood Duck Production Program the new support guidelines are finalized. To streamline administrative efforts and improve the efficiency of the program, no personalized "deals" will be made without prior notification of the Conservation Biologist and justification for the deal; i.e. prior history etc. As always, all installations and/or maintenance checks must be supported by a current membership, covered by membership dues, donations, or to be paid in full upon invoicing. All nest box installations are subject to the carrying capacity of habitat and suitability for wood ducks.
