GWENT Wildlife Trust paired up with Blaina Co-operative store to raise awareness for the Build an Owl Box Campaign
Anna Guzzo, project officer at Gwent Wildlife Trust, and other colleagues visited Blaina Co-operative as part of the Eastern Valleys Living Landscape People and Wildlife project.
They arrived with two owls, Ruby who is a one-year-old female barn owl and Alfie who is a two-year-old male. Alfie had been kept in a budgie cage until he was rescued, and volunteers at the sanctuary helped to rehabilitate him.
The aim of the project is to work with the community to build, install and monitor owl boxes.
The project is supported by the Co-operative’s Welsh Wildlife Heroes campaign which is run by Wildlife Trusts Wales and funded entirely by the money collected from the single-use carrier bag charge in The Co-operative food stores in Wales.
