Bring Bluebirds to Your Garden
February 25, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
$29
Connecting your yard with surrounding landscapes creates vital flight corridors for native and migratory birds, including bluebirds. Using ArcGIS technology, ornithologist Ian Stewart demonstrates how personal gardens contribute to a larger ecosystem and support bluebird populations. Learn the role of nest boxes in bluebird reproduction, identify where to place one in your yard, and leave with instructions on how to properly install and look after it. You will soon see that your yard has become a new home for gorgeous bluebirds.
This program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Saturday, February 25 (Snow Date: March 4). It is also offered as an in-person class on Friday, February 24, 2023. Click here for information about the Friday date.
