Won’t you be my neighbor? The Conservation story of purple martins

The Purple Martin is the largest of the swallow species in our region. They are aerial insectivores, catching insects in flight as their primary food source and rely almost exclusively on human-provided housing.

Join us to learn about the natural history of this fascinating bird species, their unique relationship with humans, and what you can do to help them recover from decades of decline. This program will teach how we as individuals can reverse this trajectory and the practical aspects of becoming a Purple Martin landlord.
