Natures Nursery brings back Battle of the Birdhouses

Nature’s Nursery is recruiting all competitive and creative critter lovers to grab their hammer and nails and just wing it.

Battle of the Birdhouses is back again with a bigger prize and higher goals.

Each year, Nature’s Nursery admits more than 3,500 sick, injured and orphaned native wild animals for care and also helps hundreds more remain in their wild habitats.

“Battle of the Birdhouses was first launched in 2020 with more than 25 birdhouses entered and over $3,500 raised for wildlife rehab,” said Allison Schroeder, Nature’s Nursery executive director.

“With an even larger prize this year, and last year’s birdhouses raising the bar, we are hoping to exceed $5,000 in funds this time,” she said.

All birdhouses will be auctioned online, and the one that sells for the highest price wins $500 from Genoa Bank.

Completed birdhouses are due by Monday, October 4.

Complete rules and registration to build can be found online at natures-nursery.org/events/birdhouse.
