Scott Artis, Executive Director
Urban Bird is building a future that preserves the interconnected relationship between birds, people and nature.
We work to conserve one of the most important and impactful places on the planet — your community! This is a place where you live, work, relax and educate your children. This is where thinking globally and acting locally actually takes place. And your community is a place that has the power to significantly shape and change lives. Our team is active at every level — conserving birds and open spaces and reversing an unsustainable trend that is driving a wedge between our children and nature.
A Comprehensive Approach
Birds, other wildlife and green spaces are essential to a healthy community. If we are to “Meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”, then we simply cannot ignore the health, environmental and social benefits of suburban and urban preserves and open spaces as well as their value in maintaining native bird populations. A new approach to conservation is required, and Urban Bird innovates at every step to ensure our projects foster lasting changes that benefit bird populations and positively affect your life.
Using a foundation in science and sustainable development, Urban Bird is involved at every level — from local policy to hands-on conservation to catalyzing national support — and challenges the status quo to deliver solutions that make short- and long-term sense for communities and meet the needs of both birds and people.
At Urban Bird, we focus our work where we can make the biggest impact on bird, wildlife and green space conservation. Our work in urban and suburban communities builds social, economic and environmental value, and is designed to preserve and restore people’s connection to the natural world.
For conservation to last, we NEED to restore our connection and accessibility to birds and open space in urban and suburban communities.
