From all of the achievements credited to the Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace Stewardship Project none is more noteworthy or recognizable than the impressive success in
bringing back Purple Martins to our urban and rural area. Each year with valuable assistance from the Camrose and District Fish and Game Association, the City of Camrose, and other partners, several new “condominium-style” Purple Martin houses are built and installed on public land in or near Camrose. These Martin houses are taken care of by dedicated community members (keepers). These individuals and other interested residents or visitors to Camrose are provided with educational opportunities on Purple Martins, other species of birds and wildlife. The project also provides information on habitats and greenspace co-existence between nature and man. An event that has proven to be “sold-out-popular” and has really put Camrose on the map in a positive way in recent years is the Camrose Purple Martin Festival. This year the Festival will be held on Sunday, June 5. For more information see the story on page 15 of this issue of the home team paper.
