Birdies Home Sweet Home is Protected – Sewer Replacement Project can Proceed

[Zip-in-Z]

Town of Sylvan approved a $3.2M – 53rd St Redevelopment Project, work started this week, part of the project is to remove a number of trees and replace the sewer line to the Sylvan Golf & CC, next to our condo complex. The project engineer can to see me, this portion of the work was put on HOLD the other day due to 2 Tree Swallows chicks that are still in my Birdie Log House. I imagine they’ll both be gone in a week or so, then I’ll remove the Bird House & the tree removal crew can come in to take the 80 ft poplar down & the excavators can get to work. Was told the Town will be monitoring closely, as they should. Will miss the Poplar tree next season, need to find a suitable piece of pipe to hang the nest box to. Hopefully when they return next year, they can move right in again.

Wasn’t aware the Province had legislation to protect small nesting birds, makes sense though.

A few pic’s … cheers.
