For Rosie Bluebird Trail WV
Citizens across North Central West Virginia will help create a new “Rosie the Riveter Bluebird Trail” during a special two-day installation of bluebird nest boxes across five locations from Sunday afternoon, June 14, 2026, through Tuesday morning, June 16, 2026.
Bluebirds were chosen by Rosies as symbols of hope and “facing problems together.” The project shows that Americans do work together across generations and communities.
The public is invited to attend the events, meet fellow volunteers, and welcome special guests with the National Bluebird Society, Robert Karchnyak (“Bluebird Rob”) and his wife, Nichole
