Presented by Heidi Shiver, Bird Town Pennsylvania LLC

Come join us to learn more about the state-wide grassroots conservation program, Bird Town Pennsylvania, and how it works with municipalities to engage, educate and empower their residents, schools, and businesses to make more positive ecologically friendly decisions that especially support birds and wildlife. Tools and resources available to engage homeowners from Backyard Habitat Programs to Community Science Programs will be shared as well as impactful municipal and community projects including creating Native Plant Pop-up Gardens to Native Plant Garden Tours to Demonstration Gardens and more.
