Volunteer for the annual USI Bluebird Trail Clean-up Day
|
Charles Price, professor of science education, will lead the 11th annual USI Bluebird Trail Clean-up Day at 9 a.m. Saturday, February 25. Participants will walk the trail to insure that nesting boxes are clean and ready for nesting season. There are 50 bluebird houses on campus. Price said the birds usually start nesting in March, and the young are born in April. A biology or science education major gathers nesting data from the houses each year. Well over 100 fledglings have survived to young adulthood in the years since the program began. The Bluebird Trail is about 2 ½ miles around the perimeter of campus. For a map and more information, go to www.usi.edu/bluebird. Anyone is welcome to help. Participants will meet at the Grimes Haus on the Bluebird trail at 9 a.m. For more information, contact Price at 812/464-1939. |
