Leeuwenburgh Hawk Nest Relocation Project

A successful collaboration between ALTALINK, the County of Warner, Leeuwenburgh Dairy Farms LTD  and a Senior Species at Risk Biologist from Fish and Wildlife Stewardship – South Region, Alberta Environment and Protected Areas, made it possible to relocate a Ferruginous Hawk nesting site to a safer location. The hawk nest was transitioned from a precarious perch atop a gravel pile to a secure alternative nesting pole. Thanks to the seamless cooperation of all partners, the project was completed smoothly, ensuring a safer habitat for this at-risk species.
