Spring is in the air, and with it comes the sweet sound of birds getting ready for a brand new season! In this episode of Family Roots and Garden Boots, we’re diving into a fun, hands-on way to connect with nature—creating bird nesting wreaths.

Joined by special guest Aubree Dawson from the Campbell County Extension, we explore:

-Why birds are so active (and noisy!) this time of year

-How and why birds build their nests

-A simple, family-friendly DIY project using natural materials to help support local wildlife

-Tips for safely and responsibly gathering materials from nature

Whether you're looking for a creative outdoor activity with the kids or just want to bring more wildlife into your backyard, this episode is full of inspiration. You might even spot birds stopping by your wreath to gather materials for their nests!
