Description:
The purpose of this program is to connect people of all ages and backgrounds to birds and the natural world through the arts and fun neighborhood activities that will result in a better understanding of the value for green spaces for birds. This program will support creative events that integrate the arts, gardening, community participation, and the funding agency’s citizen science project. Projects should connect the arts, music, dance, and gardening with birds and science that will lead people in deeper observation of nature, help them enjoy the magic inherent in birds, and reduce stress. In addition, projects should reach diverse urban audiences who do not already participate in science or scientific investigation and inspire others to organize similar events in their communities.
