Blue Bird Houses Building Project!
More Housing for Bluebirds in Spooner!
Triston Nelson, sophmore at Spooner High School teamed up with our afterschool program to build 10 bluebird houses that will go on a trail at our elementary school. See full story on the bluebird experience site, click here: Bluebirdexperience.com
Thanks to everyday heroes Tristan Nelson and Marcus Nelson from Spooner, and Krista Lambrecht, Larrry Bennet and Shelly Sutley from the Bluebird Experience Project for sharing their love of bluebirds with our kids.
Our students will get to help install the birdhouses on the walking trails in the spring and learn how to record data from the houses onto a national registry site!
