Are you coming to the SJPT"s Western Bluebird Information Session next month?

It's going to be a fun-filled evening focused on restoration efforts for the Western Bluebird, a native songbird that is conservation dependent in these islands.

Join us in a couple weeks to learn more about the project and how you can help change the lives of these adorable bluebirds. A few hours of effort could go a long way in helping the bluebirds spread their wings into this summer and beyond.

Our Western Bluebird Project information session is happening on Tuesday, April 2, from 6:30pm to 8pm at Red Mill Farm, where we will be hosting a training and information session for new and existing volunteers of the San Juan Islands Western Bluebird Project.

If you're new to the project, come on out and learn what a bluebird even is, why it's so special, and what you can do to help us help it out. If you're already familiar with the project or want to refine some skills, we will be available to answer questions and help out however we can to ensure you're as prepared as possible to support the bluebirds. We are intentionally having this session open to all people interested so that everyone, even with different degrees of knowledge and experience, can be together to provide various perspectives and connections.

The information session is on the eve of our first Bluebird Blitz of 2024, with the second one happening the following week. These are also great opportunities to join us out on the land and learn about our work with the bluebirds. We hope you can make it out!

For more information and to register for the events, please visit our online calendar (sjpt.org/calendar).
