Background and Discussion:

Kleb Woods Nature Preserve and Center received a request to accept from community member Yusuf Gabr donated materials, valued at $547.00, consisting of cedar boards, cedar posts, hardware, fasteners, and predator guards. These materials will be used to construct and install nest boxes as part of an Eagle Scout Service Project supporting local wildlife habitats. The nest boxes are intended for native cavity‑nesting bird species commonly present at Kleb Woods, including Eastern Bluebirds, Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, and other small songbirds that rely on safe nesting structures.

 

Expected Impact:

Approval of this item will enable the department to accept and utilize the donated materials to complete the Eagle Scout Service Project, resulting in the installation of nest boxes that support cavity‑nesting bird populations and enhance wildlife habitat at Kleb Woods Nature Preserve. The donation offsets material costs and contributes positively to habitat stewardship, youth engagement, and environmental education, with no anticipated negative operational or fiscal effects.
