County Coordinators are very
important to the Kentucky Bluebird Society because they are our eyes, ears,
and spokespeople across the state of Kentucky. They become the local contact
for their county and become our 'ambassadors' in their area. KBS will consider
each county a 'Bluebird Project' and will be named accordingly. County
Coordinators must:
-
be a member of KBS and be willing
to be a representative of KBS in their local county
-
promote bluebird awareness in
their area
-
provide information, training,
and encouragement on bluebird conservation
-
inspire prospective bluebirders
to build bluebird-approved nest boxes
-
inspire prospective bluebirders
to organize and monitor trails
-
send press releases to local papers
and radio encouraging people to call for advice and information (e.g.,
about a county-wide workshop or a school project)
-
act as 'hotline' respondents,
answering questions and trouble-shooting bluebird problems in their area
-
be willing to help interested
bluebirders start new trails and offer countywide bluebird workshops (e.g.,
how to build a proper nest box, monitor nest boxes, or organize a trail)
-
supply KBS with a report of their
monthly activities, such as problem solving, trails organized, workshops
conducted, and number of hotline calls answered
County Coordinators will be supplied
with a complete kit of educational materials. Anyone dedicated to getting
out the message of bluebird conservation can be a coordinator. To date,
KBS
has 16 county coordinators. If you are interested in being considered
for a County Coordinator, please fill out & submit a County
Coordinator application form. If you have any questions, please check
