Many Roxtonites Love Dogs, but Birds are a Universal Joy

Bird City Texas Program strives to create more resilient people and bird relationships

Does Roxton have a birding organization? If not, bird fans need to spread their wings and join together. If this opportunity isn’t something Roxtonites can support with collective pride, we don’t know what is.” Audubon Texas and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), partners in the Bird City Texas program (BCT), have announced the launch of the 2021 BCT application process. BCT began in 2019 as a way to recognize the work communities are doing in the name of conservation, much of it simply incidental to community and citizen projects and activities. BCT partners are eager for more communities to get involved, step up their conservation actions, and receive recognition for their impact on birds and habitats. More information and resources can be found on the Bird City Texas website. Communities interested in applying for Bird City Texas recognition can learn more on the “How to Apply” page of the Bird City Texas website. Certification is based on work in three categories: education and engagement, habitat management and improvement, and removing threats to birds. Visit the Bird City Texas FAQ page to learn how the program benefits communities. Those interested can also learn more by watching a video about Bird City Texas on the TPWD YouTube Channel.
