August 16 Program:
"Bird City", presented by Kristen Vale

"Bird City" is a community-focused certification program created to help people protect birds and their habitats where we live, work, and recreate. The criteria required to attain certification are designed to be impactful and efficient against habitat loss and other harmful factors impacting birds.
