Since 1998, Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society has offered classes on the design and fabrication of nest boxes. Again, this year we are offering the class to our BirdFest attendees. 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 that you will take with you and install near your home. Class fee includes: Illustrated presentation, a nest box kit (cut from local rough-sawn cedar), assembly materials, tools, and expert assistance. Program will be led by Ken Wiersema, Education Chair of Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, and a volunteer instructor in our Center for over 25 years, assisted by several local craft folks.
