What’s the most important step you can take right now to help Wisconsin’s birds and Bird City Wisconsin? You can update your community’s contact information.

It’s easy to do: Simply send an email to Bird City's Director (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) containing the name, job title, phone number, and email address of your community’s Bird City representative (or representatives).

Who’s that? Your Bird City rep is the point person for your community’s Bird City effort. He or she is our eyes and ears for what’s happening in your neck of the woods, and especially for what’s happening to your birds.

Usually, your rep is the person who has log-in privileges on our website and handles applications and renewals and adds events to our online calendar. He or she is also the person we turn to if we have questions, and he or she is the recipient of our occasional renewal reminders, meeting announcements, and news.

Most important, your community’s representative is the person who makes Bird City Wisconsin a player in consequential statewide conversations about birds. By uniting more than 100 recognized communities, the program can function as a powerful advocate for birds -- this is a chief benefit of being recognized as a Bird City -- but we can speak meaningfully for your community only if we know who your rep is.
