Bird Box Making at Tinkley Gate
Join us at Tinkley Gate, Woodchester Park for family-friendly bird box making, just in time for nesting season.
The end of winter into the beginning of spring is a great time to make bird boxes for birds to nest in your garden. It's a great family-friendly activity and we'll provide all the tools and materials you'll need.
Why this time of year?
Many birds start looking for nesting sites in early spring, so having boxes ready before then increases the chances of occupancy.
Trees and hedges are bare in winter, making it easier to install boxes without disturbing wildlife and putting up boxes in winter allows them to weather naturally, making them seem like a more established part of the environment. Some species, like blue tits and robins, begin scouting for nesting spots weeks before breeding begins.
Join us on 22nd March 2025!
Please note:
- Meet at Tinkley Gate café. The event is taking place in the barn area outside the café and although covered, is outside so appropriate clothing is recommended.
- Sensible shoes and clothing is advisable.
- We have access provisions available at Tinkley Gate, including fully accessible toilet facilities, a powered door into the cafe, as well as level access on hard-standing around to the barn area. Disabled car parking spaces are available. For more information, view our 'accessibility at Woodchester Park' article to find out more.
- Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult (18+)
