Bird Town PA

The EAC is pleased to report that Franklin Park has been approved as a Bird Town PA. What is a Bird Town PA, you may ask; it is a lot more than would be obvious from the name. Official Mission: Bird Town PA works in partnership with local municipalities and like-minded organizations to promote community-based conservation actions to create a healthier, more sustainable environment for birds, wildlife, and people.

 Goals include activities to:

  • Renovate parks and public spaces
  • Restore natural habitats
  • Install native plants in landscapes
  • Identify and remove invasive plants
  • Manage stormwater
  • Clean up streams and streets
  • Reduce bird strikes
  • Encourage alternatives to pesticides
  • Generally, any projects to improve the natural environment

Stay tuned for more information on future activities.  If you want to participate in some fun activities, advise Donna Platt of your interests and she will add you to our EAC volunteers list.  Call 412-364-4115 x302 or email to dplatt@franklinparkborough.us with Bird Town PA in the subject line.
