Nest Box Building Workshop for Families

Description

As a family, build a home for the birds that nest in your neighborhood.

In this indoor workshop, you will use simple hand tools to assemble one of our pre-cut nest box kits and carry it home the same day. A naturalist will show you where and how to mount a nest box so it will attracts nesting birds in the spring such as Eastern Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, House Wrens, Black-capped Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, and White-breasted Nuthatches. No building experience is needed, and every tool and material is provided.

A well-placed box can shelter a new brood of birds year after year, making this one of the best ways to support bird life near you.
