Members of the community will have a chance to receive a free birdhouse next week thanks to the Agriculture Department at the Caldwell County High School.
The Ag Classes are working with the Caldwell Conservation District to provide the birdhouses in conjunction with the District Tree Give-A-Way. The joint tree and birdhouse distribution will begin at 8:30 am next Tuesday, April 8th at the Conservation Office on Traylor Street in Princeton.
Agriculture teacher Parker Jennings shared the agriculture students have been building these birdhouses for several years.
