Virtual ~ Wood Ducks & Nest Boxes

Wood Ducks and Nest Boxes: History, Current Research, and Management Tips
The Coastal Discovery will welcome Beau Bauer on May 19 at 2 pm for this virtual presentation.  Wood duck recovery from near extinction in the early 20th 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.
