Heritage Park Hosts Bluebird Monitor Training
Bluebird monitors get the opportunity to visit sensitive areas of the park, while gathering information from nest boxes.
From Heritage Park: Do you enjoy regular visits to Heritage Park? Become a trained bluebird monitor volunteer! Bluebird monitors get the opportunity to visit sensitive areas of the park, while gathering valuable information from nest boxes. The data the monitors collect is used by Cornell University’s Nestwatch online program to track progress made by birds across the country.
The Bluebird Monitor Training is on Wednesday, March 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Farmington Hills Nature Center. All ages are welcome; children must be accompanied by an adult. All materials and necessary training will be provided. Monitors must be able to commit to visiting the park once a week. There is no cost for the training, but pre-registration is strongly recommended. Please register at the Costick Center or online at http://recreg.fhgov.com.
The Farmington Hills Nature Center is located in Heritage Park at 24915 Farmington Road, between 10 and 11 Mile Roads. Call the Nature Center at 248-477-1135 or email asmith@fhgov.com for more information about upcoming programs.
