I am familiar with this company my husband use to work there our friend still does. About 7 year ago the operation manager put out martin gourds with pole system I loved it...i work there for a little while during the winter. I watched martins there for years hoping I would finally get some this year "Yes I did" all went well. The other day I had to drop my friend his laptop off and I was devastated...One pole is pushed over some with no gourds on it at all and the other one only 2 gourds and they are in very bad shape. Since the operations manager got let go no one is taking care of the martins.It looks like no martins were there this year...I spoke to my friend and told him I would love to have this set up. Please ask them and see if they want to get rid of it and please get it for me if you can...So here I am hoping and praying that they will let him have it......Everyone Cross your fingers and say a little prayer.

Littlebit45, there are many landlords that host and supervise public sites. Many companies and organizations are supportive and have been mention and featured in the PMCA's UPDATE magazine.

The manager of this site might no longer be interested and will give you the equipment. Also, as an alternative, you could offer to manage this site and add to the education of others. The manager should be happy to have a willing and knowledgeable person monitoring/or adopting the equipment from this commercial site.
Ever-Grateful,
Linda
