Come join us Friday, September 4th, at 10:00 am to help us clean out the Purple Martin gourds! By the end of the nesting season the gourds can get quite dirty so we will do some volunteer work to clean them out and see what Purple Martin nests look like after fledging. Be sure to bring your questions about managing the Purple Martin towers! We will meet at the B&O Headquarters located at 205 S Mill Street in Lexington. Restrooms will be available and it will take us around 2 hours to clean them out. Hope to see you there! Please call 419-884-3764 with questions.

Join Naturalist Hannah for a lively, hands-on adventure series where each month becomes its own little exploration! For two fun-filled hours, you’ll dive into a new section of Wild Ohio’s Wildlife Journal—with a fresh theme every time. Expect a mix of indoor and outdoor activities like creative writing, sketching, short hikes, and up‑close nature demonstrations. The program is free, and your journal is included; just give the office a quick call at 419‑892‑2784 each month to save your spot. We’ll meet in the Visitors Center. Great for ages 8 and up, grown‑ups are absolutely welcome! Please dress for the weather.
In Part 4 of this series we will be meeting with our special guest Gary. He takes care of our Purple Martin pole here at Malabar and a few other spots around our area! We will learn about the life cycle of birds and some of our most common species. Why are birds so important? Attend to learn some basics!
Following parts in the series are: It’s a Wonderful World, Adaptations & Journaling in the Fall and Winter.
