The University of Tennessee Arboretum Society presents “Bluebirds: an American Success Story.” In the mid-twentieth century, bluebird populations plummeted by up to 90 per cent, but one simple idea has helped bluebirds thrive again. Learn how you can be part of this truly American success story at this Zoom educational presentation on Tuesday, Feb. 23, at 7 p.m.
Don Hazel, president of the Tennessee Bluebird Society, will share the story of one of the most beautiful songbirds all the way from egg to adult. Colorful photographs help tell this fascinating story. The program is sponsored by the UT Arboretum Society, the Tennessee Bluebird Society and the UT Forest Resources AgReseach and Education Center.
