“Our team of 110+ volunteers maintain a vast network of Mountain Bluebird trails, increasing habitat and restoring the natural range of these beautiful birds,” says Jim Leitch, President of MBTCS, “we rely on support from our members and the community to continue to build, renovate, and maintain cavity nest box habitat that supports thousands of bluebirds each year.”

Along with all who have donated over the years, an initial contribution of $10,000 was invested with the Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta.
