Bird City Designation! 🕊️🌿

By demonstrating its commitment to creating healthy bird habitats and advancing local conservation efforts, Meridian Township has officially been designated a Bird City Michigan community, joining 11 other communities across the state recognized for their bird-friendly practices!

Launched by Michigan Audubon in 2025, with founding partner Ford Motor Company, Bird City Michigan is a science-based program that recognizes communities for taking meaningful action to protect birds and their habitats.

Meridian Township earned the designation through its ongoing efforts to preserve natural areas, enhance wildlife habitat, promote environmental stewardship, and engage the community in conservation initiatives.
