In Spring of 2021, volunteers built birdhouses based on Tennessee Bluebird Society for our first trail. A trail is a collection of birdhouses in a public park, cemetery, school or other public space which can be monitored by our volunteers. There are also private trails which are typically purchased by a homeowner group and monitored.
 
Greenway Farms donated materials and the city of Red Bank funded the 1^st 12 birdhouses which were installed in White Oak Park in Red Bank. We knew there was a need for birdhouses there when we noticed a female bluebird sitting on her nest in a dog poop bag dispenser. The first nests were started 24 hours after we installed the birdhouses!
 
Since then, we have installed 150 houses on 24 trails throughout Hamilton and surrounding counties. Typically, we expand our trail list each year as we determine a need. This year, we are replacing some of the original houses with our new and improved designed houses with upgraded quality materials. Each trail has a monitoring team who, during nesting season, open the birdhouses and record their observations in NestWatch, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology app.
