Portage Lakes Purple Martin Association is Celebrating 25 Years in 2025!
The Portage Lakes Purple Martin Association is an organization dedicated to helping the Purple Martins feed, breed, and interact with the environment to the best of their bird ability.
We have a number of activities and lectures throughout the year. We welcome you to join us help us educate the public about the Purple Martins. Come help us teach how these birds contribute to the Portage Lakes ecology through our school education days, Martinfest, Adopt A Nest and Twilight Boat Rides.
