Evansburg maintains a number of cavity nest boxes throughout the park. As part of one of our longest running citizen-science projects, volunteers assist with routine nest box checks throughout the nesting season. Collecting data on species and nesting success rates, as well as conducting maintenance, sanitation duties, and entering season data.
