6/9/2021 | First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site | St. Charles, MO
Join the First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site staff and members of the Missouri Bluebird Society as they explore our state's rich heritage of bluebird conservation. This engaging evening program will be held on Wednesday, June 9, beginning at 7 p.m.
In 1927, the eastern bluebird was adopted as Missouri's state bird. In 1938, Missourians initiated a bluebird trail that ultimately consisted of over 6,700 nest boxes and literally stretched from coast to coast across the United States. In 2006, the Missouri Bluebird Society incorporated and became an affiliate of the North American Bluebird Society. Throughout this time, important bluebird conservation and restoration work has taken place in our state.
Join us for a program that honors our state's special bluebird heritage and shares practical instructions on how to best protect, provide for and ENJOY our state bird.
Attendees will have the opportunity to construct their own bluebird nesting box to take home (one per family). Participants should plan to bring a lawn chair. This event will be held outdoors, weather permitting. Come continue Missouri's bluebird conservation tradition!
This program is part of a special heritage series of events at First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site in recognition of Missouri's bicentennial.
