We are working with local actors and the city of College Station to acquire the Bird City Texas Certification for College Station, TX.
“This community-focused certification program was 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.
Research shows that bird-friendly habitat increases property values, helps control insects, and generates tourism dollars. Where birds thrive, people prosper. From urban centers to rural towns, each community can provide important habitat for birds, and certified communities will receive recognition and community benefits as a result of these efforts.
Science-based bird conservation initiatives and community-centric action will:
Enhance and restore habitats
Increase native plant coverage in Texas for the benefit of birds and people
Reduce population-level threats
Increase public awareness of the benefits and challenges of bird conservation
Promote environmental stewardship in Texas cities”
