Tell Me More About...How to make Kingston Bird-Friendly
Description
When people think of Kingston, they usually name the waterways as their favourite feature. But what if you were a bird and one of the more than 250 bird species in the region? You would probably name the Atlantic Flyway. You see, Kingston is on this this major migratory route and millions of birds travel on the flyway each year on the way to their breeding and wintering areas. With so many feathered friends passing through, the municipality’s efforts to earn a Bird-Friendly City certification from Nature Canada is essential.
In this month's episode, meet Karen Santucci, director of Public Works and Solid Waste. She is on Kingston’s Bird Friendly team and the flying force behind the City of Kingston's bird-friendly certification efforts. We’ll learn what goes into certification, why community partnerships are important, and what residents can do to keep our year round and migratory birds healthy and safe.
