Building a Barn Owl Tower
at Sleaford Golf Club
As part of a larger project for Sleaford Golf Club, we obtained planning permission on an old barn on the course that served no purpose. This will give the club much needed funds to take it forward. However, the barn itself had resident barn owls and as part of the planning conditions we had to make provision for a replacement home.
We submitted plans for a tried and tested barn owl tower and managed to get them approved by the local planners. In the Spring of 2020 work commenced. Building the base, and using reclaimed bricks and pantiles, together with a local building materials supplier donating the sand and cement, we set to work. This was carried out by myself and member volunteer Nick Williams and a fellow birder friend of Nick’s who did the bricklaying and roof.
