Missouri Conservation Corps will be hosting a Family Day called Nest Success on Saturday, May 31, from 10 am until Noon at the C.K. Odor Shelter located at Kiwanis Park. Join MCC naturalist Laura Semken for this interactive event that will explore how birds keep their nestlings safe and well fed. You will get to hear a story, explore actual nests, then choose your bird species and try building a nest. You will also discover how habitat restoration within the park is helping birds succeed! This program is designed for families with children aged 6-16. Space is limited. Please register your family for this event by contacting Laura Semken at laurasemken@gmail.com. Kiwanis Park is located at 926 College Park Dr., Columbia Missouri, 65203. There are restrooms available at the park.
