Key Programs

Urban Bird builds new coalitions that leverage public and private support to ensure healthy, community-accessible bird populations. We apply our talents, knowledge and passion to the creation and preservation of urban green spaces that make life better and sustainable for people and wildlife. Our unique way of working combines hands-on conservation and advocacy with a foundation in science.

We aim, with our partners, to build consolidated support for sustainably developed communities that recognize the importance of integrating nature into planning. Publicly available urban and suburban green spaces protect biodiversity, build community values, safeguard our air and water, strengthen our economy, increase health and wellness, and serve as outdoor, living laboratories for children. We’re helping build a popular movement to create an equitable, healthy world where birds are not ostracized from our communities but are a part of our communities.
