Mountain Bluebird Trail Car Tours

Join our biology student for a driving tour of our nestbox trail, where you'll get to visit an active Mountain Bluebird nestbox!

Join us for our Bluebird Car Tours, offered weekly on Sundays from May 24 to June 28 at 1pm, with an additional tour on Opening Day, Monday May 18.

The number of vehicles able to go will be limited based on the location of the nestbox, so we recommend carpooling if possible!
