WAIT Partner Update: Mark Anthony Brewery

December 01, 2023

Scott Hicks and the WAIT team from Mark Anthony Brewery have been busy this year assisting with nest box placement throughout the property, as well as providing input and direction for the pollinator garden that was installed by Heritage Landscape earlier this fall.

Eastern screech-owls have declined approximately 37% in the last fifty years, but will readily use nest boxes if the habitat is ideal. The brewery has such habitat and the team decided to install three owl boxes to help this beautiful species.

Six Eastern bluebird boxes were also installed at the entrance of the property, and at the employee outdoor area next to the factory. During a recent visit to inspect the boxes, SCWF’s Industry Habitat Manager, Jay Keck, was able to identify bluebird nests in many of the boxes!

The pollinator garden, located a bit closer to the factory, is filled with native plant species that will attract many insects which could potentially become prey for both the bluebirds and the owls located on or near the property. We’d like to thank Scott and his team at Mark Anthony Brewery for their time and energy needed to create a beautiful and beneficial landscape for our local wildlife!
