Join Kathy Linker, Bluebird coordinator for Essex and Franklin counties, for a Build-a-Box Workshop. The workshop begins with a short presentation on the natural history of the Eastern Bluebird and instructions on monitoring your Bluebird Box. Workshop participants then build their own boxes, using kits from the New York State Bluebird Society. The cost is $12.00 to cover the cost of the kit, which includes wood and hardware. Participants are asked to bring their own hammer, but we will have extras on hand as well.
