Host Purple Martins

One of the most enjoyable ways to help is to host Purple Martins in your own backyard!  Purple Martins are loved for their social chatter and entertaining flight.  Click here for more information on how to get started with Purple Martins.

 

Manage a Colony Site

If your backyard is not suitable for Purple Martins, there are still many ways to be active in the Purple Martin community.  Do you know of a nearby school, park, public gardens or senior living facility that has an ideal location for a colony?  Offer your knowledge and passion for martins by volunteering to manage a public martin colony.
