The Colorado Bluebird Project Garden Club event in January was a hit! In case you missed it, here's a summary of the presentation and the questions and answers from this information-packed event.
Many of BFGC's members showed a keen interest in The Colorado Bluebird Project and had great questions for our January event's presenters, Elizabeth Taylor and Curt Frankenfeld.
Elizabeth is Coordinator of the Bluebird Project for Douglas County Open Space/Douglas Land Conservancy, and Curt is President of Denver Audubon's Board of Directors.
The presentation covered a lot of ground, and these helpful and educational documents were handed out to those in attendance:
Getting Started Factsheet
Monitoring Factsheet
FAQs Factsheet
Bluebird Nest Box Design and Cut Details
Here's a pdf with even more detailed questions and answers including:
To read: Bluebird Seasons, by nature writer and zoologist Mary Taylor, tells the story of the growing effects of climate change on her land in the foothills of southern Colorado.
“This wonderful book is faithful both in its witness to the world’s beauty and to our need to act now to preserve something of that wonder and grace. It brings the bracing air of the Rockies to us all.” -- Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature
Many thanks to Elizabeth Taylor and Curt Frankenfeld for their generous time and resources in presenting at our January event. Thanks also go to Julie Luna, Garden Club Treasurer, for the excellent summary write up on the event.
