Build a project to support native Illinois wildlife!
In this 1.5-hour workshop, our staff will guide you in building a house to support native Illinois wildlife. Each sesion will feature a different project. Materials will be provided and some pieces will be pre-cut/pre-measured. Currently scheduled sessions include:
Saturday, November 7: Build a birdhouse for black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus), a common, native resident species in the northern two-thirds of Illinois, at the Old State Capitol.
Everyone five years of age and older is welcome to attend; but please note that participants will be using hand tools to assemble their birdhouse. All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult; younger children may need adult help to complete the project.
