The San Juan Preservation Trust is hosting a free informational session at Red Mill Farm on the Western bluebird, a native songbird that is now conservation-dependent in the San Juan Islands. Once abundant, their populations have declined due to habitat loss, and without active intervention, they may vanish entirely. As cavity-nesting birds, they rely on nest boxes that SJPT volunteers host, maintain, and monitor, as natural cavities continue to disappear. We invite all those interested in supporting our efforts to protect Western Bluebirds—as well as current volunteers—to join us for an evening of discussion on the project’s progress, bluebird conservation, and opportunities to connect with fellow avian enthusiasts. Snacks will be provided!
