Since 1998, Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society has offered classes on the design and fabrication of nest boxes. Again, this year we are offering our annual class to our local community. In this class you will learn why we build nest boxes, which birds use them, and how to build your own! Class includes a short, illustrated presentation followed by hands-on assembly of a box from a precut kit, that attendees will take home to install near their homes.
Class fee includes: Illustrated presentation, a nest box kit (cut from local rough-sawn cedar), assembly materials, needed assembly tools, and expert assistance. This is a family event, carpentry skills not required, please bring light work gloves, if you are allergic to raw cedar wood. Program will be led by Ken Wiersema, a volunteer instructor in our Center for over 25 years, assisted by several local craft folks.
