As Virginia loses open spaces to conversion, many species of birds struggle to find a safe place to raise their young. Luckily, you can support native bird species in your own backyard.
Birds

Bird Box Workshop
August 9, 2025 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Join Building Goodness Foundation to learn how to build a nest box and do your part to boost bluebird conservation efforts in Virginia. Attendees will be building the boxes to support the Piedmont Environmental Council’s work to regrow grassland bird populations. All participants will also get to take one box home.
No construction experience is necessary, and all tools and materials will be provided. PEC will explain the importance of grassland birds and demonstrate how to take care of your new bird box.
Spots are limited, so register today at buildinggoodness.org.
