DESCRIPTION:- The Hungry Owl Project is thrilled to announce a Vineyard Pest Management 
 event to be held at the Spring Mountain Vineyard in St. Helena.  Ron 
 Rosenbrand, Spring Mountain's Vineyard Manager, will describe the 
 vineyard's success in using environmentally friendly solutions for pest 
 management.  Western Bluebirds are a big part of the vineyard's pest 
 control team, and "bluebirds in vineyards" expert Julie Jedlicka will 
 explain the role of the Western Bluebird in controlling insects in 
 vineyards.  Alex Godbe, Director of the Hungry Owl Project, will provide 
 information about HOP's work in promoting the use of barn owl and bluebird 
 nesting boxes in the control of rats, mice, gophers, moles and insects in 
 the vineyard context.  Gophers Limited's Thomas Wittman will share his 
 extensive experience in controlling gophers and other rodents.\nJoin us for 
 a fun and informative afternoon event featuring hors d'oeuvres, estate 
 grown wine, and other beverages.  Barn owl and bluebird boxes can be 
 ordered from the Hungry Owl Project at the event.  This event is a 
 fundraiser to continue our work to reduce reliance on pesticides and 
 rodenticides by the producers of agricultural products and encourage 
 ecologically sound alternatives.  Reservations are $30 per person.\n\nThe 
 mission of the Hungry Owl Project is to reduce the need for harmful 
 pesticides and rodenticides by encouraging natural predators, through 
 conservation of habitat, erecting nest boxes when appropriate, through 
 research and education, and providing a resource of help and information on 
 alternative methods of sustainable pest management.\n\nThe Hungry Owl 
 Project is a program of WildCare (www.wildcarebayarea.org). WildCare offers 
 practical, respectful and humane solutions in a complete cycle of programs 
 that illuminate the inherent value of wildlife and the importance of a 
 diverse and healthy eco-system. These programs include a wildlife advice 
 hotline, veterinary hospital for wild animals, wildlife solutions services 
 for property owners and education programs for children and adults.\n\n
