Along with other members of the Aldo Leopold Audubon Society, CWES graduate assistant Sarah Wood helped students from the Tomorrow River Community Virtual School build nest boxes this morning.

These nest boxes are designed for four cavity-nesting birds found here in Wisconsin: House Wrens, Eastern Bluebirds, White-breasted Nuthatches, and Black-capped Chickadees - all birds we see regularly at CWES! The nest boxes will be hung around CWES before next spring so that as the birds begin to scope out nesting locations, they will have lots of safe options to choose from.
