Indiana Audubon officially welcomed the city of Terre Haute as the 15th member on its list of Bird Towns this past week. Terre Haute with the help of the Wabash Valley Audubon joins the group of Indiana cities welcoming birders from all over.
Modeled after the âTree City USAâ program, Bird Town Indiana works with cities and communities to recognize the work and commitment by communities that plan, develop and implement bird conservation strategies and education on a local level.
Communities must meet a minimum of seven criteria to be considered for Bird Town status, including educational programming, conservation initiatives and governance related to birds and their protection. Town and city officials interested in pursuing Bird Town Indiana status can find the application at www.indianaaudubon.org/bird-town-indiana.
