Allamakee Co. Conservation Board receives donation of wood duck nesting boxes

The Allamakee County Conservation Board recently received a donation of over one hundred wood duck nesting boxes from the Allamakee and Jones County Chapters of Ducks Unlimited. Funds raised from the two Chapters of Ducks Unlimited were used to purchase materials to construct the nesting boxes. The two Chapters of Ducks Unlimited coordinated with Luster Heights Correctional Facility to construct the boxes.

The Allamakee County Conservation Board will use the nesting boxes this spring in conducting environmental education programs. The programs will be conducted in Allamakee County Schools, a number of boxes will be donated to each class participating. The wood duck nesting boxes will also be available to the public while supplies last, and now is a great time to be setting the boxes. Anyone interested in receiving nesting boxes can call the Allamakee County Conservation Board office at (563)586-2996 to coordinate a time to pick up the boxes.
