Builders, scaffolders and roofers: learn how to check for swifts before you work. Our Swift Sanctuary receives many orphaned chicks due to careless renovations or chicks starve when parents can no longer get to nests once scaffolding is erected.

If you work with a cherry picker or long ladders, volunteer your services and your equipment to install boxes on taller houses
