Barn Owl Project

The Cam Valley Wildlife Group Barn Owl Project 

The Cam Valley Wildlife Group Barn Owl project started in 1994 when Barn owls were under severe threat nationally and thought to be extinct as a breeding species in what at the time was the county of Avon. The project, led for many years by Andre Fournier, has been run for a number of years now by Gary Kingmman.

The continuing success of this project is due to a combination of factors – the dedication and expertise of the team, liaison with other national and local groups and, critically, working with landowners. We are a longstanding conntributor to the Barn Owl Trust’s annual report, State of the UK Barn Owl Population, which has been published since 2013.
