Getting designated as a Bird Campus USA is fun, educational and provides enormous benefits that include: public relations, citizen pride and participation, and publicity.

The Bird Campus U.S.A. program provides direction, technical assistance, public attention, and national recognition for business and college campus' throughout the United States 

Citizen Pride
Pride is sometimes a less tangible benefit. Gaining and retaining the Bird Campus USA recognition is an award to the managers, volunteers, board members and others who work on behalf of better care of a community. Noninvolved citizens, too, often share a sense of pride that theirs is a Bird Campus USA. This may translate to better care of habitat areas on private property or a willingness to volunteer in the future.

Public Image
A community's public image is very important. Being a Bird Campus USA helps present the kind of image that most citizens want to have for the place they live or conduct business. The Bird Campus USA signs at campus entrances tell visitors that there is a university or business that cares about its environment. It is also an indication to prospective businesses that the quality of life may be better here.

Education
Education begins with discussion of the requirements and getting organized to apply for Bird Campus USA status. In turn, this can set in motion aid from a variety of professionals in the form of technical advice, literature, films, and other assistance.

Publicity
Presentation of the Bird Campus USA award offers excellent publicity opportunities. This results not only in satisfaction for the individuals involved and their families, but also provides one more way to reach large numbers of people with information about birds.

Getting designated as a Bird Campus USA is fun, educational and provides enormous rewards.
