Make and Take: Willow Bird Feeders at Long Branch Farm & Trails

Registration Requirements: Preregistration required.

Intended Audience: This program is best for adults and/or children ages 10 and up with a caregiver.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Program Description: We’re crafting bird feeders from woven willow! Using flexible willow rods and traditional weaving techniques, we’ll create feeders with a naturally strong, open structure to hold suet and support local birds through the cold season ahead.

What to Expect: This is a hands-on class with an optional gathering in the field portion. After crafting our bird feeders, we’ll take an (optional) walk over to the willow copse, where they grow.

• This program is mostly outdoors with indoor options available in the case of severe weather.
• Pets are not permitted at Cincinnati Nature Center programs or events.
• Program runs rain or shine.

What to Wear: This program has the potential to get a little messy—attendees are encouraged to wear old clothes.

Where to Meet: Registered participants will meet at the Creekside Barn at our Long Branch Farm & Trails location. (6926 Gaynor Rd, Goshen, OH 45122)

Cost: Ticket fees include daily admission. Fees are per project; a caregiver may purchase one project to work on with their child. Nonmember caregivers who purchase a ticket for their child will pay daily admission at the gate.
