Update on Bird City Stillwater's Bluebird Initiative

A dedicated bluebird team led by Janet Korteum and supported by Bird City Stillwater, a workgroup of Sustainable Stillwater MN, recently installed Gilbertson-style Bluebird nest boxes at Lily Lake Park. These boxes aren't just structures; they're symbols of our commitment to preserving our local ecosystem and providing essential nesting sites for bluebirds.

With 20 nest boxes strategically placed throughout Stillwater, our initiative aims to combat the decline of bluebird populations due to habitat loss and competition with invasive species. By monitoring these boxes, we gather valuable data to inform future conservation efforts while creating safe havens for bluebirds to thrive.

As we continue our work, Bird City Stillwater remains steadfast in our commitment to environmental stewardship. Our Bluebird initiative is just one example of how communities can make a positive impact on the world around us. We recognize the urgent need for sustainability in the face of climate change, which threatens not only bluebirds but countless other bird species.

By promoting sustainable practices and raising awareness about the interconnectedness of all living beings, we strive to create a future where birds and humans can coexist harmoniously amidst a changing climate. Together, we're forging a path toward a healthier, more resilient planet for generations to come.
