The Bird-Friendly City campaign is an initiative started by Nature Canada. A Bird Friendly City is a city that is creating safer urban environments by focusing on three main aspects: reducing threats to birds, restoring habitat and natural spaces, and educating and mobilizing the public.
The London Bird Friendly City Team will organize a variety of projects such as support in developing campaign strategies, communications to the community about birds, birding events and much more!
The London Bird Friendly Team is lead on a local level by a motivated group of people, which currently includes:
- Friends of Stoney Creek
- London Environmental Network
- Nature London
- Salthaven
- Upper Thames River Conservation Authority
- The Advanced Facility for Avian Research at Western University
