One of the goals of the Garden Club is to aid in the protection of the environment. Recent development and increasing invasive species have interfered with the natural nesting sites of the native Bluebirds. The nesting boxes are monitored and maintained by Enfield Garden Club members with the hope of increasing our native Bluebird population. Enfield Garden Club has been installing Bluebird nesting boxes in different areas of Enfield, Connecticut.
This project was led by club president, Nancy Wyzga in 2021 with a grant from the Hartford Audubon Society. Later on, the Enfield Garden Club was awarded for these efforts towards conservation by the Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut in 2023. With hard work from our members, blue birds have started nesting in our monitored boxes.
Bluebird boxes are located at:
Easy Pickin's Orchard
The Enfield Central Library
Smyth's Trinity Dairy Farm
The Martha A. Parson's House
The Stowe Early Learning Center
