A key aspect of sustainable conservation is partnerships, and this is no different for our Bird-Friendly Communities program. Every single Bird-Friendly Space represents a link in our network of regional conservation, and sometimes, these links grow into a larger relationship.
The Bird-Friendly Community Partner designation is intended to formally recognize the partners directly supporting Houston Audubon’s Bird-Friendly Communities mission via habitat creation, community engagement, and threat reduction. So, what are the pillars that build a Bird Friendly Community Partnership?
Bird-Friendly Community Partners are businesses, organizations, institutions, or the like that achieve at least one goal from each criteria. If you are an individual or an organization only looking to have a planted area recognized, please refer to our Bird-Friendly Spaces program as an alternative.
