2025 Ward Farm Nest Box Monitoring

Expired

Description

For Volunteers, All Ages, under 18 with trained adult

Volunteers will check all Prothonotary Warbler nest boxes #1-4 & 7-8 and will report data to NestWatch.

**Please note the dam between the pond and creek is closed so you will have to walk around on the trail to check boxes 7 and 8**

Important:

1. Volunteers must first attend a Ward Farm Training opportunity in order to qualify to monitor nest boxes there.

2. Nest boxes cannot be checked within 2 days of another nest check.  Before responding to an opportunity make sure that no one has responded to an opportunity 2 days before or 2 days afterwards. 

3. Although the time slot is advertised as starting at 9am, you may monitor nest boxes any time during regular park hours at least 1 hour before sunset. 

4. If another volunteer has signed up for the date you're interested in, please pick another date, even if it says there is another slot open that day.  The max capacity of 2 allows multiple family members or 2 friends to monitor nest boxes together.
