Ilkley Save our Swifts

Climate Action Ilkley and the Wharfedale Naturalists Society are combining forces in a project to help Ilkley’s swifts.
We are calling for volunteers to  help with things like:-

  1. Mapping swift nest sites and sightings using the RSPB’s swift mapping tool;
    https://www.swiftmapper.org.uk/
  2. Installing a swift box on your own home;
  3. Providing contributions toward the cost of swift boxes for installation at key sites
    around the town;
  4. Getting involved with fundraising and grant application activities.

If you would like to get involved email swifts@climateactionilkley.org.uk
