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 through the year. We welcome you to join us help us educate the public about the Purple Martins. Help us teach how these birds contribute to the Portage Lakes ecology through school education days, Martinfest, Adopt-a-Nest and Twilight Boat Rides.

We’re happy to have these aerial acrobats in Portage Lakes, Ohio and do our best to make them feel welcome. Our sanctuaries are an important part of Portage Lakes ecological habitat. We appreciate your donations.
