Audubon CT Greenwich: Nest Box Building Workshop

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.

After a slide-show presentation, you will have the opportunity to build your very own nest box kit with the assistance of Audubon staff! Kits will be available for purchase with ticket registration and will be given out at the program. Hammers & Screwdrivers will be available for use but we recommend bringing your own Hammer & Philip’s Head Screwdriver if you have them. 

This IN-PERSON program has a limited capacity and will start with an indoor slide show. Weather-permitting, we will build the nest box kits outside.

TICKETS ALONG WITH KITS MUST BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE through our online ticket sales page. There will be no ticket sales at the door the day of the program. Please be prepared to show proof of your ticket registration, either as a printed copy of your registration receipt or your registration confirmation email on your phone.
