Box Building Projects

Volunteers needed

We are looking for volunteers to help us build boxes for bats, owls, bluebirds and kestrels! This project is perfect for middle school or high school wood shop class projects, Eagle & Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, company community services and interested indivduals. We love working with Eagle Scouts as they always do quality work.
We are also looking for donations of 1/2" untreated plywood from construction sites or recycling centers. We'd love to recycle unused wood into homes for birds! You may be able to get community service credit for building boxes for our non-profit group. We also have our box building parties from time to time and volunteers are welcome - we once built 30 boxes in one day - see below.
