Build-a-Birdhouse

Celebrate the return of our nesting bird species at the Massabesic Center and Wildlife Sanctuary! Join our expert NestWatch Monitors for a fun-filled family experience crafting your very own bird house! Get hands on with woodworking tools and power drills in a safe environment. Our team will be set up in the Massabesic Center’s Barn, with two types of pre-cut and pre-drilled kits, suitable for bluebird or house wren nest boxes. You’ll learn how to attract Eastern Bluebirds or House Wrens to your backyard, through discussions of installation placement guidelines and habitat requirements needed to generate ideal conditions for these two bird species. We’ll share resources for attracting other species to your yards, too! RSVP (one per family) Required by April 3, 2025 if you want to construct a birdhouse. Limit to one birdhouse per family.
