Then take it home where you can redesign it and change it up and experiment!  Only 10 kids can join us this round, so sign up early if you are interested !  Kids that participated last time are welcome to join us again.  They can bring their parts from last time and add on to it, or start fresh with a brand new kit.

Bluebird Program and Nest Box Building

John Rogers, (a specialist on our New York State bird) will be here on April 8th at 1:30 with a delightful Powerpoint Presentation on bluebirds.  The program should take about 45 minutes and is free to all. Then all are welcome to stay and  build their own bluebird nesting box to take home.  Each nesting kit will be $9.00, and should be easy to complete in about 30 minutes.  This is an excellent program for families, but children under 12 should have an adult to help them with construction.
