Exciting news for bird lovers before World Migratory Bird Day! Nature Canada is thrilled to unveil the latest Bird Friendly Certifications for Camrose, AB.
With a total of 32 municipalities now officially certified across the country, this achievement recognizes communities that are taking meaningful action to protect both local and migratory birds. From reducing bird-window collisions and cat predation to preserving critical habitats, these cities are leading the way in conservation, education, and policy efforts that make a real difference for birds and their community.
Camrose joins the list of other Certified Bird Friendly Towns in their efforts to advance bird conservation, education and stewardship. With Committee membership including the University of Alberta, Camrose; Wildrose Outdoor Club; Battle River Watershed Alliance; Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society, Ducks Unlimited; District 11 of the Métis Nation of Alberta; Camrose and District Fish and Game Association as well as Chair of the City of Camrose’s Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee and Manager of the Parks Department, this collaboration brings together diverse expertise and passion for birds. With two nearby Important Bird Areas, robust annual biodiversity inventories and an annual Purple Martin Festival, Camrose is establishing itself as a regional leader for smaller Bird Friendly Cities.
