ORGANIZATION: Possumwood Acres Wildlife Sanctuary

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 22 people are interested

We are in critical need for new cages built for our new resident raptor ambassadors (birds of prey). Construction skills are necessary - after 20+ years, our original caging needs wooden boards replaced, rusted wire removed, warped doors rebuilt, and perches, shelving, and roost boxes repaired. New government regulations have required additions added to some of our older smaller-sized caging. Recent additions to our ambassador team means that they need a home to live it.
