Bird Town is a working partnership of Audubon and municipalities in Pennsylvania to promote conservation and community-based actions to create a healthy, more sustainable environment for birds and people. Audubon provides the tools for the municipality to engage their residents, schools and businesses in making more ecologically-friendly decisions, conserving energy and in the process, saving money. A Bird Town makes efforts to restore valuable ecosystem services to create a culture of conservation where everyone is a potential steward of nature in their backyard and beyond.

The power of Bird Town comes from individuals taking actions on their landscape and in their home to be greener, experience nature every day, and contribute the town’s overall efforts to minimize environmental impacts. For example, by planting native plants and registering your property with Audubon, valuable data will be added to the town's scorecard that will continue to improve each year. Contribute to citizen science and you and your family become key players in the world of bird conservation! As neighborhoods work together, corridors of improved habitat will welcome returning spring migrants, letting us know we are on the right path!

Flock to the "Doylestown Bird Town: 500 Backyards of Habitat" initiative. Please tour the very helpful website http://pa.audubon.org/habitat, then register your intent to begin (or continue) making your yard more ecologically and bird friendly. Your Bird Town workshop trainees and neighbors could lend a hand. We hope you will watch with us as we measure our success through increased sightings of more, and more unusual birds.
