(Glen, can you post this? Thanks)
Monday, March 4th is the monthly chapter meeting of the Northern Neck Audubon
Society. We meet at 3:15 to socialize and snack, and at 3:30, business and
program are undertaken. (IF you have any interest in joining the Board as a
Director, there is always an open invitation to our board meeting which
precedes our program. The Board meeting adjourns at 1:30.)
Our March program features Jon Bachman, Public Events Director for Stratford
Hall.
Jon will demonstrate how cooperation between entities (in this case, Stratford
and The
Virginia Bluebird Society) create a situation where the effect is greater than
the sum of the parts.
When he first took up his position, some ten years ago, the Hall’s boxes had
fallen into neglect and the ensuing disrepair. The Virginia Bluebird Society
came to his attention; and two of its Fredericksburg members, Carl and Ann
Little, set about a rigorous rehabilitation of nest sites. Over the intervening
years, they have achieved a thriving habitat of some 38 boxes. Teams of
volunteers, including John and Pam Narney of the Northern Neck, coupled with
NNAS funding support, have assured that “There’ll be bluebirds over,
....Westmoreland County...just you wait and see!"
All are welcome to join us, you don't need to be a member, and there is no
charge. You just need to be interested in birds and/or things that relate to
them. 🦅🦉🌳🦆🌾🐝🐛🐦🐟The location is The Lancaster Public Library in Kilmarnock, 16
