The Friends of Hagerman Adopt-A-Nestbox Program

Every year beginning on December 1st, the Friends of Hagerman gives the public an opportunity to support the Eastern Bluebird population and learn all about them via the Adopt-A-Nestbox Program.

Participants of the Adopt-A-Nestbox program will be invited to name their adopted nestbox, and visit it along a Hagerman NWR hiking trail as often as they like. Participants will receive an email every week during nesting season with a picture of the inside of the nestbox and an explanation of its stages of development. An adopted nestbox makes a great Christmas gift!

The price of $35 per nestbox helps to support the expense of maintaining the impressive Bluebird trail of 45 throughout the refuge.  There is a limit of three nestboxes per person.

Information you will need to Adopt-A-Nestbox:

"Nestbox Name" refers to the label you would like on your nestbox, for example: Bonnie's Bluebirds.  If left blank, the label will be the gift recipient's name or the purchaser's name if not a gift.  NOTE: 15 letters maximum.

Gift recipient's name: Leave blank if not a gift.

Email addresses of your gift recipient: Leave blank if not a gift.

The Adopt-A-Nest program is sold out for the 2023 season. 

Look for them to go on sale December 1st next year!
