The Diablo Woodworkers (DWW) club was involved in a community project at Ranch Laguna Park, collaborating with the town of Moraga, the Moraga Parks and Recreation Department, and the Moraga Garden Club.

The project was conceived as biological control to a rodent problem at the park. Humane Wildlife Solutions, Inc., in Moss Landing CA, provided plans for the boxes.

DWW club member Jim Fleming drew up plans, followed by project approval by the city of Moraga, and support from Parks and Recreation Department, and from the Diablo Woodworkers volunteers (David Lipscomb, Joe Hirt, Craig Bender, Philip David, Duke Herrera, Spencer Schilling, Jeff Traeger, and Alan Coyle).

The boxes were installed at Ranch Laguna Park and at the nearby Commons West, a public sculpture park.

This is just one example of how members can get involved with a DWW Community Project. If interested, log on to the DWW website, go to your profile, and select “Interests” (lower right corner). You will be emailed when there is a community project opportunity. There is no obligation if the timing or project doesn’t work for you.
