Four years running, the Great Salt Lake Bird Festival has invited me to participate, introducing people to the Wild Over Wood Ducks (WOW) program, and working with the kids.

In this, there is a golden opportunity as I am given the opportunity to work with these young kids in a hands-on-environment, whereby these kids are introduced to building wood duck boxes that will serve as nesting cavities.

These activities provide a golden opportunity for the youth, introducing them to the outdoors in a conservation minded atmosphere.

I am always impressed whenever I see scouts and their leaders taking advantage of these types of events and their resources.
