Wood Ducks and Nest Boxes: History, Current Research, and Management Tips
The Coastal Discovery Museum will welcome Beau Bauer on January 24 at 2 pm for this
presentation as part of our Discovery Lecture series. Wood duck recovery from
near extinction in the early 20 th century is largely due to the implementation of
thousands of next boxes throughout the species’ range. Despite thriving across
their range, little is known about the current effectiveness of next boxes in regard
to growing and sustaining these populations. Join us to learn more about the
history of wood duck nest boxes, multi-state research efforts examining their
contributions to population growth, and management tips.
Beau Bauer is a Certified Wildlife Biologist for Nemours Wildlife Foundation where
