Dear Friends of the Swifts,Below, please find the link to a meeting on Monday, 12/14/20 at 7 pm to discuss the Chimney Swifts of Bethlehem.Update: The Masonic Lodge is scheduled for demolition in the next 3 months.The developer has agreed to build a chimney swift tower on the property to replace the Masonic Lodge chimney with the help of the community. Scott Burnet, Chairperson of the Habitat Committee of the LV Audubon Society and chimney swift expert, has been in conversation with the developer about the dimensions, construction and location of the chimney swift tower. The developer has consulted with his structural engineer. The plan is to build a 30′ high 5′ square tower out of masonry. Scott Burnet concurs that a tower built out of masonry is better and longer lasting than one built out of wood. The cost is estimated at $20,000.Goals of our meeting:Educate all of us about this threatened species–Scott Burnet
