Earthday Fun and Games Earthday 2001 was a blast, with new events and a good turn-out. Activities included Herb Gardening, Nestbox Building and Placement, Recycle-A-Book, REWHC History, Recycle your Stuff, Coloring Books, the Norman Bird Sanctuary Natural History Table, Butterfly Gardening, Tree Planting, Trailwalks, music, treasurehunts, and more! Nest Box Building and Training A local scouting group, under diriction of Ed Rizy, built sixteen nestbox kits in redwood and pine and bagged them in preparation of Earthday. "The scouts were so excited, it was difficult to stop them from bulding them all.", Ed Rizy remarked. Certainly the children at Earthday had a lot of fun building the kits and then mounting their nestboxes in the field with the help of the scouts. The first annual nestbox monitoring course was given in the conference center during Earthday to prepare monitors for the birds, eggs, and chicks they were likely to see and the techniques to be used both on the nestbox trail and at the web browser for data entry.
