The Birdhouse Project - Spring Free Community Project

Holy Cow! It looks like you are all ready for spring too!

We can’t believe that within 24 hours of posting our spring birdhouse project, all 30 of our premade birdhouses were reserved through our website! We look forward to seeing these birdhouses back by April 30th transformed into works of art that will help create a vibrant installation of public art along the Rail Trail in downtown Morrisville. Thank you to Tricia and Mark Follert for building all of the birdhouses and bird-feeders for this project!

If you would like to still contribute to this collaborative art project, folks who would like to build their own birdhouses are encouraged to donate to our public installation. How fun would it be to see hundreds of birdhouses installed along our rail trail!

All birdhouses and bird feeders must be weatherproof and functional from a conservation standpoint. We suggest using acrylic paint and ask that you seal your birdhouse with 2 layers of an outdoor clear coat finish to ensure the artwork can withstand the weather when installed outdoors.
