What is a nestbox?

Also known as bird houses, nestboxes play a vital role in fostering bird habitat and protecting species diversity across Colorado’s Front Range. Join Evergreen Audubon and Mountain Area Land Trust for a family-friendly event, where staff and volunteers will provide nestbox kits and hands-on instruction for you to build and take home. All nestbox materials will be supplied. Participants are encouraged to bring a cordless drill if available; extras will be provided.

Things to know:

• No experience is necessary; we will show you exactly what to do.
• Everyone is welcome. We especially encourage families with children to come and build nestboxes together.
• Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes.
• Choose between the following nestbox builds at registration (limited supply of each):
  • Bluebird Nestbox – $25
  • Chickadee Nestbox – $20
  • Robin Platform – $10
• Limited to 1 nestbox per family

This event is being held at Mountain Area Land Trust’s beautiful Sacramento Creek Ranch in Fairplay.
