Back Yards Gone Wild: DIY Bluebird Boxes

Join a naturalist for an hands-on introduction to cavity-nesting birds like bluebirds, chickadees, and wrens. You'll start with an informative talk, then build your own bluebird box to bring home at no cost—a gift made possible through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Each household can take one completed box. The program happens in an outdoor shelter, so come prepared for whatever the weather brings that day. This is a great activity for families who enjoy nature and want to support local wildlife. Registration opens March 1st and is required to attend. For questions or to sign up, contact the Nature Realm Visitors Center at 330-865-8065 (they're open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.).
