Please Do Not Paint on the Wildlife!

Recently, one of our members was working in the corridor and discovered something disappointing: Graffiti artists have been tagging under one of the road crossings along the wildlife corridor.

These swallow mud nests have been ‘tagged’ as well. The paint is clearly visible on the nests.

Spray paint is not healthy for baby swallows! 

It’s pretty terrible that just when wildlife might be getting a chance by having this wildlife corridor in place, their future would be compromised by a senseless act of painting on their nesting sites!

Consider this an open letter to the public to never spray paint on or near wildlife!
