Sponsor a Kestrel Box

Here is your chance to sponsor a kestrel nest box and learn more about our smallest falcon—the American Kestrel. This is a fun way to support Sacajawea Audubon Society’s Kestrel Nest Box Project as well as our other many conservation projects. Sponsorship costs $50 per year per box and you can sponsor as many boxes as you like.

A kestrel box sponsorship makes a great eco-friendly gift or you can sponsor a box in memory of a loved one. The money raised will fund the expenses of maintaining the kestrel program as well as a new project to GPS tag a few of our nesting kestrels and track their movements via the Motus Tracking System (motus.org).

You can sign up for a kestrel box sponsorship by donating online.
