Monitor a Bird Nest
NestWatch teaches you how to find and safely check bird nests, then record what you observe so scientists can learn how birds are doing. A quick free course shows you the simple rules, and then you report your nests online. It is a hands-on outdoor project that adds to a national research database.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
