December 5 – Bluebirds

Our December meeting will feature Bluebird expert Gene Wasserman. He will share how to get started as a bluebird landlord and how to help Bluebirds succeed in your area. Wasserman is the Ingham, Eaton and Clinton County Coordinator for the Michigan Bluebird Society. He also makes and sells WoodCraft Kit Bluebird Houses and feeders. All profits are donated to non-profits. His goal, besides helping Bluebirds, is to get people, especially kids, outdoors to explore nature.
