Donation for Bird Friendly City Kitchener

Description

Earmark your donation to Waterloo Region Nature to be used by the Bird Friendly City Kitchener committee.

Saving bird lives starts with local action! Across Canada, people are coming together to make their cities bird friendly. A local team has formed to get Kitchener certified as a Bird Friendly City.

Nature groups, municipal officials, and other community groups are teaming up with Nature Canada to ensure our urban environments are safe havens for birds rather than a source of threats. From predation by domestic cats, to window and car collisions, cities and towns present many preventable hazards to birds.

A Bird Friendly City is a community where:

Key threats to birds are effectively mitigated;
Nature is restored so native bird populations can thrive;
Residents are actively engaged in admiring and monitoring local bird populations;
Organizations are creating events to protect birds;
Progressive municipal policies are created to protect urban bird populations; and
A Bird Team has been created to oversee and lead these initiatives.
