     Project
  • Bluebird Trail Project:

    • Trirbutary Trails applied for a Wal*Mart environmental grant and was fortunate to receive full funding by Wal*Mart. The grant stipulated that a nature project/program involving children and adults, schools and civic organizations be pursued. A program that would involve tourists, and the people of the North Country of NH and the Northeast Kingdom of VT. Tributary Trails choose to work with the North American Bluebird Society on the conservation of bluebirds and other cavity-nesting birds. This Transcontinental Bluebird Trail (TBT) is the largest bluebird restoration project on the North American continent.

    • The science of creating competitor/predator-proof bluebird houses is credited to Thomas Mussleman of Illinois. He is a conservationist who noticed the serious decline of the bluebird population and studied bluebird ecology. He created designs for bluebird houses which are now used by the major groups in their efforts in bluebird conservation.

    • The Bluebird Project Leader, Dale Miller, heads up Trirbutary Trails' efforts in bluebird conservation. Dale was the first to donate bluebird houses to the project, and sought funds, equipment and materials from local area people to expand the project. All of these bluebird houses are put up in accordance with the North American Bluebird Society specifications. If you would like to help, please let Dale know.
