2026 nest box building
During the Festival you'll get to build your own owl nest box if you'd like. You will be provided with materials, equipment, and supervised instruction to assemble the boxes, plus instructions for placement of the boxes.
Choose between a box that will work for Eastern Screech-Owls, Northern Saw-whet Owls (and American Kestrels and Wood Ducks) or a box for Barred Owls. Both are made of high quality materials for long life.
This event is put on by the Houston Boy Scouts, and all proceeds benefits their scouting program.
