Wild Farm Alliance video on Tree Swallows

If you haven't heard me talk excitedly about tree swallows on the farm, now's your chance! I learned so much about beneficial birds through the Wild Farm Alliance and have installed 35 nesting boxes throughout the pasture to utilize their amazing fly-eating capacity. Special thanks to my sister Megan for hooking me up with her high school trades class to build them!

My enthusiasm for the work of Wild Farm Alliance and their Farmland Flyways Trail got me an invitation to make a video and participate in a Conservation Innovation Grant for some additional bird habitat plantings along our ridgeline.
