I’m looking for two locally made owl nesting structures: barred owl boxes, Eastern Screech-owl, or great horned owl nesting platforms. They need to follow Audubon’s species-specific specifications and be made with untreated cedar, or another suitable untreated wood.

I can order online, but I’d prefer to buy from a local carpenter. I need both within two weeks, so please let me know ASAP if you have any available or can build them! Barred Owl nest box plans below:https://wildlifecenter.org/sites/default/files/documents/BADO%2520boxes.pdf

In the swamps of Collier County, Florida, there are trees that were already 200 years old when Columbus sailed for the Americas. They are still standing. And walking among them on a dawn morning is one of the most quietly overwhelming experiences available anywhere in this state. 🌿🌲✨

The Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, managed by the National Audubon Society in Collier County, protects the largest remaining old-growth bald cypress forest in North America, a cathedral of ancient trees whose oldest individuals date back over 700 years. These are not just old trees. They are living witnesses to Florida's entire recorded history and most of its pre-contact history as well, trees that were already centuries old when the first Spanish explorers arrived on this peninsula, that sheltered Calusa and Seminole people in their shadows, that watched the Everglades drainage projects of the 20th century reduce the water levels around their roots and yet somehow survived. A 2.25-mile boardwalk winds through the sanctuary, allowing visitors to walk at eye level with the understory while the ancient cypress towers above in a canopy so dense that the light reaching the swamp floor is more like twilight than day even at noon.

Corkscrew is also one of the most important wood stork nesting colonies in the United States, with the federally threatened birds returning each winter to nest in the cypress canopy in numbers that fluctuate with water levels but in good years can reach into the thousands. The combination of ancient trees, extraordinary wildlife, and absolute stillness makes Corkscrew one of the most spiritually affecting natural places in Florida.
