Projet Crécerelle - DÉCAF

The Crécerelle Project is an initiative led by the student chapter of the Wildlife Society at Université Laval. It aims to conserve the American kestrel by maintaining a network of nest boxes specially designed for this species. About fifty nest boxes installed in the Quebec City metropolitan area help compensate for the lack of natural cavities in the habitat. In addition to maintaining the nest boxes, volunteer committee members carry out educational activities in schools and with the general public. They also collaborate with various conservation organizations by sharing banding and nesting monitoring data.
