Wildlife Nesting Boxes

Wildlife Nesting Boxes

Watching the wildlife around your own house is very satisfying.  It’s even more satisfying knowing that you provided them a place to live.  Now, I’m not talking about sharing your own home, although there are some types of wildlife that *love* to invade your attic, or make their own home in your garage.  If you are able to cut some wood and nail a few boards together, there are some wonderful nest boxes that are easy to put together with a few materials easily available at the hardware store.  You can find the plans to several different styles of home, suitable for different types of wildlife on the nestboxes page.

There are several organizations and nature centers that enjoy putting up nest boxes for their nature programs.  The Audobon Society accepts donations of nest boxes for many different forms of wildlife, including the Kestrel Boxes around many state parks.
