CA Waterfowl Wood Duck Box Build 2025 - Volunteer Follow-up

On Friday, April 18th, 2025, an incredible group of 17 volunteers from Reed Family Companies joined us at the California Waterfowl Association to help build over 50 nesting boxes for our local wood duck population — and what a day it was!

Thanks to their hard work, enthusiasm, and teamwork, we were able to create safe nesting spaces that will support generations of wood ducks and help preserve vital wetland habitats. This kind of community support makes a lasting difference in our conservation efforts.

Your passion and dedication truly made this event a success. Here's to building a better future for wildlife — one nesting box at a time! 🦆💚

We want to give a heartfelt thank you to each and every volunteer who showed up and gave their time:

Stephany Garcia, Kenny Cooper, Judy Kelly, Shawn Meza, Adam Leighton, Robert Garcia, Frank Coehlo, Secilia Hernandez, Brandon Lasater, Josh Zensen, Ashley Lippincott, Jessica Blanco, Veronica Briseno, Nick Rosemont, Aleks Ivanina, Joanna Tua, and Melissa Price — we’re so grateful for you! We would also like to extend a special thanks to Brian Huber with the California Waterfowl Association for helping set this event up and ensure the day went smoothly!

CA Waterfowl Wood Duck Box Build - Volunteers Needed

Are you looking for a fun and rewarding way to give back to nature? Join us in volunteering with the California Waterfowl Association to build wood duck nesting boxes! This is a fantastic opportunity to make a tangible impact on local wildlife while enjoying the great outdoors with your colleagues and fellow conservation enthusiasts.

Why Wood Duck Boxes Matter

Wood ducks rely on tree cavities for nesting, but habitat loss has made it harder for them to find safe places to lay their eggs. By building and installing nesting boxes, we provide these beautiful birds with the shelter they need to thrive. Your efforts will directly contribute to the conservation of this species and help maintain a healthy ecosystem.
