Portage Lakes Purple Martin Association Community Outreach
Purple Martin info-outreach activities
Because of our status as Purple Martin Capital of Ohio, the PLPMA has traveled around the area, telling folks about our mission to propagate Purple Martins and educate the public of the benefits of these birds for insect control.
We have many different opportunities and activities throughout the year. We welcome any who are interested in participating.
THANK YOU Portage Lakes Purple Martin Association Members!
