 Through our Bird Friendly Communities Program, ÌÇÐÄlogo Connecticut is working to transform backyards, schoolyards, parks and urban spaces into oases for migratory songbirds, in New Haven and across Connecticut.

One of our bird-friendly communities initiatives, Urban Oases in the New Haven Harbor Watershed, was recently designated an Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), one of only eight such designations nation-wide! With partners including McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, Yale Urban Resources initiative, Common Ground High School and Environmental Center, and Yale Peabody Museum, ÌÇÐÄlogo is working with City of New Haven schools and parks to create high quality habitats where hungry migratory songbirds can rest and refuel, and where people can explore, have fun, and make a difference for their environment!

One component of the Urban Oases Initiative, the Schoolyard Habitat Program, offers the following to New Haven Schools:

• Funding and guidance to develop healthy schoolyard habitats for wildlife and children;
• Teacher training workshops to increase outdoor learning and help integrate the Schoolyard Habitat into the curriculum;
• Naturalist-led school-day programs, after-school Schoolyard Habitat clubs, and green career mentoring; and;
• Opportunities for children and their families to commit to environmentally-friendly practices at home.
