With multiple volunteers, it’s easy for us to collect data from each nest box every week. Otherwise, it would take one person over three hours to collect the same data! The bluebird trail can be divided into as many sections as we have volunteers to help lighten the load.

Eligibility and time commitment

The minimum age to participate in this project is 16. You must be able to monitor nest boxes at SERC once a week. This project is highly independent, and we recommend that you monitor with a friend. This project is volunteer directed and run, so there are no specific dates or times for data collection.
