Bird Houses

Author: Trever Cole

Planning Unit: Mason County CES

Major Program: Natural Resources

Plan of Work: Livestock and the Environment

Outcome: Initial Outcome

On April 4th I had 7 participants in my bird house class. For the class all 7 participants built box style birdhouses and finished them with paint or wood stain. From this participants learned how to sand, drill, and fasten boards to create there birdhouses as well designed their roof attachments to best suit where they planned to place there birdhouses (on a fence post, suspended, nailed to a post or tree, etc.) many participants also plan to enter their projects in the County Rally day with hopes of then competing at State Fair in Cloverville.
