Birds and birding have always been a core interest for members of our Society. In this spirit, one of our long-time members enjoys making special birdhouses and he makes them available as incentives to encourage people to donate. While most of the houses are functional, many people want to display them and enjoy them indoors for their originality and craftsmanship.
The materials are re-purposed and the birdhouses are not considered to have a cash value. With a minimum gift, you can choose from the available houses and also receive a tax receipt for the full amount of your gift. Suggested minimum donations range from $20 for a basic birdhouse to $100+ for an ‘out of this world’ custom creation! Our Treasurer will contact you about details as needed for payment and preparing a tax receipt.
The birdhouses are available for pickup in Squamish, with donation by cash or Interac e-transfer. We also bring a selection of birdhouses to our booth at events.
Here are some of the inspired creations! Please inquire for a list of currently available houses.
