Eastern Bluebirds are thriving in Massachusetts today largely thanks to people's efforts installing nest boxes. This program tells that story from the beginning. Starting with an indoor presentation on bluebird natural history and the conservation movement that reversed their decline, participants will assemble and take-home their own bluebird nest box, learning where and how to install it for the best results.
You'll also discover community science opportunities for nest box monitoring, contributing meaningful data to local and regional bird research. After the workshop, the group heads out to Arcadia's accessible meadow trail in search of the nest boxes and their feathered inhabitants in action.
