Build a Winter Bird Feeder: Family Workshop

Come pick a peck of pinecones at Green-Wood and transform them into delicious winter treats for our feathered friends! When the cold sets in, birds struggle to find food, especially in urban areas. That’s where we come in. We’ll wander through Green-Wood’s conifers, gathering their fallen pinecones for a DIY bird feeder project. Along the way, we’ll learn what pinecones are, how they vary from tree to tree, and, if we’re lucky, maybe even spot some birds. By the end, you’ll have homemade feeders ready to hang in your neighborhood!
