Each Wood Duck House is built to specifications recommended by the Department of Natural Resources.

Features a removable top for yearly cleaning.

Note the inner wire mesh which allows the ducklings to climb up to the entrance when they are ready to leave the nest.

Wood Ducks require some minimal bedding to be added to the bottom of the box before they will choose it for a nest. Sawdust, dried leaves, wood chips, or dried grasses work well. Do not add enough to raise the level of the nest, though, or raccoons will be able to reach the ducklings through the entrance.

Cedar naturally achieves a silver gray patina once exposed to the elements, which allows it to blend well with the landscape. Each Wood Duck House is crafted from Northern White Cedar by students at Warroad School. Wille Logging provides lumber to the woodworking classes at cost and agrees to buy back specific projects. The students divide their profits according to letter grades.

6-1-10 Wood Ducks have already nested for this year. This is a great time to hang your nest boxes for next season!
