MEN'S SHED BIODIVERSITY TRAIL

 

Our local Men’s Sheds pour heart and soul into their work, and it’s with great enthusiasm that they unveil an initiative that shines a light on the community spirit and the essential role Men’s Sheds play in enriching lives.

Bouncing back from the October 2022 floods, these amazing Men's Shed teams have been hard at work crafting some serious avian real estate as part of the "Men’s Shed Biodiversity Trail" project. This initiative, integral to Buloke's community recovery efforts, was designed to enhance the  beauty of our surroundings and boost community spirits. However, the true essence of the initiative spotlighted the indispensable role of Men’s Sheds as pivotal social centers that promote mental health and wellbeing.

To highlight their significance, workshops focussing on skill-sharing and collaborative learning were organised by the Buloke Shire Council, not only to bring Men’s Sheds members together to learn new skills, but also to help generate more interest in their sheds by transforming these skills into creative expressions that benefit the wider community.

​

These bird boxes are set to become a series of unique art installations, creating a trail that not only offers a sanctuary for birds and insects but also weaves a vivid mosaic of life and colour throughout the area.

​

Feel free to contact any of our Men's Sheds if you wish to purchase one of these charming bird boxes for your own garden.
