.Join the Virginia Bluebird Society to learn how you can turn your garden into a bird-friendly habitat, attract nesting bluebirds to your yard, and become a better bluebird landlord!
Registration required. Registration begins February 1 at 10:00 a.m.
Get your bird houses outside- it's almost nesting season! Make sure your yard has the plants required to provide food, cover, and nesting materials for cavity nesting birds rearing their young: chickadees, titmice, swallows, wrens, and the Eastern Bluebird. Join Valerie Kenyon-Gaffney, president of the Virginia Bluebird Society, for an informative presentation about how to make your outdoor space a bird haven. You'll learn what plants provide food, cover, and nesting materials for birds, so you'll be sure to attract a pair of cavity nesting birds to your nest box!
The Virginia Bluebird Society was created in 1996 to combat the declining numbers of Eastern Bluebirds and other cavity nesting birds. Their mission is to promote conservation efforts, create trails of bluebird nest boxes, and share their knowledge and resources. Visit their website below to read more about their history, find information about cavity nesters, or learn how you can get involved in monitoring a bluebird trail!
