Virginia Beach DU Greenwing Wood Duck Box
Join Us for a Fun and Educational Wood Duck Box Building Event!
• What: Wood Duck Box Building Workshop
• Who: All youth are invited to participate! Each participant will receive a Ducks Unlimited Greenwing membership.
• Where: Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum, Virginia Beach, VA
• When: Saturday, January 4, 2025 | 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Why Participate?
Learn about the vital role wood duck boxes play in enhancing duck production and conserving waterfowl habitats. Wood ducks often rely on nesting boxes when natural tree cavities are scarce. By building and installing these boxes, you’ll directly contribute to creating safe spaces for wood ducks to raise their young, supporting sustainable duck populations.
Event Highlights:
• Hands-on wood duck box construction
• Interactive talk on waterfowl conservation
• A tour of the Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum
Save the Date for a Follow-Up Event!
Join us later in January 2025 as we install the completed wood duck boxes at the historic Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge, the former home of Joe Knapp, founder of Ducks Unlimited. This beautiful refuge is a vital habitat for waterfowl and a perfect location to see your conservation efforts in action!
Registration Details:
Spots are limited to 15 participants! RSVP by December 28, 2024, to secure your spot. Parents are welcome to attend as spectators.
