- **Event Name**: How to be a Good Nest Box Landlord
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: Cavity-nesting birds like the Eastern Bluebird often rely on man-made nest boxes because naturally occurring cavities have become scarce in the wild. Other bird species that use these boxes include Tree Swallows, Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, and House Wrens. Learn from the best Bent landlords who care for 34 nest boxes at our sanctuary. Kate Pratt, our Senior Coordinator for Community Engagement and Programs, has been caring for our nest boxes for over 10 years. In this workshop, learn how to set up, maintain, and monitor a nest box of your own. Part presentation, Q&amp;A with Kate, and a look into a nest box on-site will leave you ready to become the best landlord you can be.

 

You have the option to purchase a nest box kit with your workshop ticket.

A ticket to attend is $15

A ticket with a nest box kit included is $45

Please park in the visitor lot and walk up to the barn
