For landowners interested in making their individual efforts more valuable to the community, they can work with WHC and NRCS to involve school and scout groups and their families in habitat projects. A wood duck management project is an easy way to provide fun hands on learning opportunities, especially for children. If the land is corporate owned, encourage interested employees to become involved. Involve students or scouts in building and monitoring nest boxes. The educational benefits can greatly increase the value of your individual wood duck management project.
