Join the Lyme Bluebird Project to support the bluebird population! Did you know the population of Eastern Bluebirds plummeted from the 1930s to 1980s, but humans across the country helped them stage an incredible comeback? Much of the bluebird’s success is due to the work of citizen scientists building, installing and monitoring bluebird boxes.
Join us for a workshop to assemble bluebird boxes. Our bluebird volunteers will make at least 2 birdhouses, one for a preserve and one for their backyard. It’s free. All you have to do is pledge to take care of at least one bluebird box in a preserve and the one in your own backyard. Taking care of bluebird boxes in the preserves is a great activity for a solo meadow hike or to do with family and friends. We’ll teach you everything you need to know to help support our bluebird populations!
All materials are supplied. No carpentry skills required. The wood pieces are pre-cut. Bring an electors drill if you have one.
Space is limited. Please register at education@townlyme.org
Children are welcome with an adult (One set of boxes per family).
The wood was donated by CT DEEP, sawn in the woods from trees harvested in the State forest during forest management.
We wish to thank Wild Bird Unlimited Niantic, who generously donated ten poles and baffles, and discounted the rest.
