"Max Meise" campaign - nest box building for young and old
DIY nesting box for at home
On Thursday, 18 March, from 9 am to 3 pm, interested children and young people will have the opportunity to pick up a DIY nesting box kit at the Chemnitz Nature Conservation Centre, Adelsbergstraße 192. These can be used to build nesting boxes for birds, e.g. for various species of tits such as great tits and blue tits, pied flycatchers, starlings or redstarts, etc. at home. A donation of eight euros for the materials will go to the Sächsischer Ornithologen e.V. association.
The Chemnitz Nature Conservation Centre, Adelsbergstr. 192, has been organising the "Max Meise - nest box building for young and old" event for 21 years. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is unfortunately not possible to build nest boxes together on site this year.
Max Meise - nest box building for young and old is a cooperation between the Chemnitz Environmental Agency, the Saxon Ornithologists' Association and the "Young Nature Guards Chemnitz" project. The project aims to introduce young people between the ages of 7 and 18 to nature conservation work.
