Dear State College Bird Club,
To celebrate World Migratory Bird Day, the borough has declared the holiday for Saturday May 10th and encourages borough residents to sign a Lights Out pledge to protect migrating birds from light pollution (see message from Bird Towns leader and boro sustainability officer Jasmine Fields below).
We're also going to have an evening bird walk at the Arboretum<https://arboretum.psu.edu/events/night-bird-walk-3/> that Saturday at 7:30 pm to celebrate.
Joe
The Borough of State College has declared Saturday, May 10, as World Migratory Bird Day. This year’s theme is “Shared Spaces," highlighting the significant role that city planning plays in supporting migratory birds.
Migratory birds and their habitats are declining in Pennsylvania due to the impacts of urbanization. The State College Bird Town Committee invites you to join the campaign to raise public awareness about human-caused bird mortalities.
