Contract Type FiledNovember 22nd, 2016In winter 2016, students from Plumas Unified School District Greenville High School Construction Technology Class lent helping hands to construct Spotted owl nesting boxes. The wildlife habitat restoration project was guided by forest wildlife biologists. The boxes were constructed from local incense cedar provided by Indian Valley Lumber and the fin- ished products may provide suitable nesting “condos” for the rare birds.

Spotted owls are cavity nesting birds and depend on large mature trees with a dense canopy cover. This project was completed in part- nership with Plumas Audubon Society. The students hope to return in a few seasons to
