Create a Bluebird House to Hasten Spring!

Let the kids build a bluebird house this Saturday at the
Oakwoods Metropark Nature Center in Belleville.

If you are wondering where spring is, why not coax it along by creating functional garden art when building your very own bluebird house. Bluebirds are the sign of good luck and are a welcome addition to any yard. Plus they are pretty for the kids to observe!

This Saturday at the Oakwoods Metropark Nature Center (17845 Savage Rd., Belleville) families can build their own blue bird houses to encourage some new "family members" to move in. The program begins at 10:00 a.m. and requires preregistration at 734-782-3956. Cost is $12 per bluebird house, plus the cost of a daily ($5) or annual ($25) park pass.
