Bird Box Build

This event is expired.
Ever see birds in your backyard and wish they would stay a bit longer? Building a bird house can provide them with a place to spend the night or even, if you’re lucky, a place to nest in the spring. Join the ranger staff in constructing (and decorating) a bird house to take home for the birds in your own backyard. This event is ideal for all ages. All skill levels are welcome and no experience is necessary. Dress in layers and wear sturdy shoes. We will provide kits and healthy snacks. Friendly dogs are welcome, but must be leashed. Rain will cancel. Please contact Ranger Jon Janzen at JJanzen@marincounty.org. Park entrance is free.
Meet at the Hillside picnic area in McInnis Park in San Rafael (310 Smith Ranch Rd). DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101 in San Rafael, take the exit for Smith Ranch Rd east approximately 0.7 miles. Drive over the railroad tracks and immediately turn left to stay on Smith Ranch Rd. (If you go through the park entrance, you have gone too far). Look for the sign for Hillside picnic area and turn right; Hillside is immediately on the right.
