A big THANK YOU! to Arlette Ruud Memorial Exhibit donors for helping Agassiz Audubon reach our 1st project goal: purchase and bird feeders and nest boxes for the new exhibit.
Agassiz Audubon Society will complete the "temporary" installation of feeders (and poles) inside the deer-proof fence at the NW Minnesota Pollinator Garden the first week in August.
The location of these feeders is "temporary" - while AAS prepares a "permanent" exhibit site to the east of the Chimney Swift visitor kiosk.
Additional donations to the Arlette Ruud Memorial Bird-Feeding Exhibit Fund will help Agassiz Audubon develop new interpretive panels, install a nest box trail, and (when fiber-optic reaches the NW Minnesota Pollinator Garden) uplink a web cam.
The new Arlette Ruud Bird-feeding Exhibit at the NW Minnesota Pollinator Garden will be a memorial tribute to Arlette's love of nature and her enthusiasm for watching birds at her bird-feeding station at her home in rural Gatkze, Minnesota.
Contributions to this project help support Agassiz Audubon's efforts to install and maintain state-of-the-art bird feeding and nesting structures for garden visitors to enjoy and emulate.
Our Goals:
1. install feeders and poles
2. set-up a "bird food fund" for this exhibit
3. design new interpretive panels
4. install water features
5. design/install nest box trail
(benches, blinds, etc)
6. install web cam - pending rural fiber-optic internet access
