The Bird City U.S.A. program provides direction, technical assistance, public attention, and national recognition for municipalities and communities throughout the United States.  Getting designated as a Bird City USA is fun, educational and provides enormous benefits that include: public relations, citizen pride and participation, and publicity. Education Education begins with discussion of the requirements and getting organized to apply for Bird City 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. Public Image A community's public image is very important. Being a Bird City USA helps present the kind of image that most citizens want to have for the place they live or conduct business. The Bird City USA signs at community entrances tell visitors that here is a community that cares about its environment. It is also an indication to prospective businesses that the quality of life may be better here. Citizen Pride Pride is sometimes a less tangible benefit. Gaining and retaining Bird City USA recognition is an award to the managers, volunteers, board members and others who work on behalf of better care of a community. Non-involved citizens, too, often share a sense of pride that theirs is a Bird City USA. This may translate to better care of habitat areas on private property or a willingness to volunteer in the future. Publicity Presentation of the Bird City 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.
