Nest Box Building Workshop - RESCHEDULED TO 3.19.22


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 03/19/2022
Create a home for Bluebirds and other bird species with your own Nest Box kit! Join Greenwich Audubon Center for a fun in-person program to learn about ways to support birds at home with nest boxes! Tree-cavity nesting birds such as Eastern Bluebirds depend on nest boxes to survive, as it has become increasingly difficult for them to find natural tree cavities in the wild. Other birds that love nest boxes include Tree Swallows, Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, and House Wrens.
