Build a Bluebird Nest Box @ Copper Falls State Park
May 2 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Families, nature enthusiasts, and aspiring backyard conservationists are invited to take part in a hands-on spring activity at Copper Falls State Park. The Friends of Copper Falls State Park will host a “Build a Bluebird Nest Box” workshop on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the park’s historic log pavilion.
This engaging program offers participants the opportunity to construct a cedar nesting box designed specifically for bluebirds—one they can take home and install to help support local bird populations. Each participant will also receive a steel pole for mounting their completed box, making it easy to create a safe and suitable habitat for these iconic songbirds.
All materials and tools will be provided, and the event is open to all ages. Young children are welcome when accompanied by an adult, making this a perfect family-friendly activity that blends learning, creativity, and conservation.
Donations are appreciated to help offset the cost of materials, with a suggested contribution of $10 or the purchase of a membership in the Friends of Copper Falls State Park.
Bluebirds, once in decline due to habitat loss, have made a remarkable comeback thanks in part to nesting box programs like this one. By participating, attendees not only gain a meaningful outdoor experience but also contribute to ongoing conservation efforts that support native wildlife.
The event is sponsored by the Friends of Copper Falls State Park. A Wisconsin State Park vehicle admission sticker is required for entry into the park.
Visitors are encouraged to make a day of their trip—exploring the park’s scenic waterfalls, hiking trails, and spring wildflowers before or after the program.
