Birdhouses for Joplin

Help Joplin on March 3, 2012, by attending a birdhouse-building party!

Missouri State Parks is partnering with Wildcat Glades Conservation and Audubon Center to aid in the recovery effort of Joplin through the Audubon's Operation Backyard Recovery program. Materials and tools will be provided that day to build a birdhouse that will be given to residents in tornado damaged areas.
