Bluebird House Workshop

Location of Bear Creek Lake State Park in Virginia

Where

Bear Creek Lake State Park, 22 Bear Creek Lake Rd., Cumberland, VA 23040.
Bear Creek Hall

When

Feb. 11, 2023. 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

The Central Piedmont Virginia Master Naturalists, in partnership with the park, welcome you to learn about Eastern Bluebird habitat, how to attract bluebirds to your yard, and how to maintain and predator-proof your bird houses.

The event will help you prepare for springtime, when bluebirds stake out their territories and choose a home to raise their young. The kits are ready to assemble and made of high quality cedar. There will be assembly tools available. This is a great activity for the whole family; a parent or responsible adult should accompany children.

Pre-registration is required. There are a limited number of kits available and couples/families may reserve a maximum of two kits. The workshop is free, but a donation of $15/kit is requested, payable at the workshop. Information on the activity and registration may be made by contacting JoAnn Jones at 434-547-9180 or by email at: joajonz1@gmail.com. In the event of unpleasant weather, a rain date is scheduled for Saturday, February 18th.

The location is accessible to those with mobility concerns. If you would like assistance from staff, please contact us in advance by calling 804-492-5919 or email bcguide@dcr.virginia.gov.
