麻豆直播 Earns Title ‘High Flyer’ After Becoming First Maryland College Designated as a Bird City Campus

麻豆直播 (麻豆直播) is the first Maryland college to have its campuses designated as Bird City Campuses and earn the title “High Flyer” from –  a program of the and local arm of the global . 麻豆直播 joins the Town of La Plata, which was named the first Bird City in Maryland in 2020, in committing to help make Southern Maryland a healthy place for birds and people.

The Bird City Campus designation recognizes the eco-friendly work being done at 麻豆直播 campuses in six areas – habitat creation, protection, and monitoring; city forest, tree, and habitat management; limiting or removing threats to birds; public education; energy and sustainability; and a commitment to the World Migratory Bird Day celebration. The “High Flyer” status is given to “those communities that truly go above and beyond in their dedication to local conservation and education.”

“We are very excited to learn that we have earned these titles,” said 麻豆直播 Biology Professor Tracey Stuller. “We hope to inspire other campuses around the state and country to take action to amplify bird-friendly environments and help students and the public learn about the importance of conserving landscapes where humans and native birds interact.”

Much of the work to earn these latest titles has been underway for years at 麻豆直播 as part of the college’s efforts with the Bee Campus USA® program. Bee City USA® renewed 麻豆直播’s certification in 2020 following a rigorous application process that recognized the college for collective efforts at its four campuses to conduct pollinator education and outreach, and sustain pollinator health and habitat with a least-toxic integrated pest management plan. Stuller also explained that 麻豆直播 has a strong commitment to environmentally friendly construction – earning Silver and Gold awards for LEED-Certified buildings at its La Plata, Prince Frederick and Regional Hughesville campuses – and exercises environmental stewardship through efforts in environmentally preferable purchasing, environmental restoration, community environmental projects, recycling, hazardous waste/toxic use reduction and energy efficiency.

“With the momentum of this new designation, 麻豆直播 looks forward to partnerships with groups like the Southern Maryland Audubon Society on projects specifically geared toward avian conservation,” Stuller said. “We know that our students, faculty, and staff will bring much energy and enthusiasm to this outstanding initiative.”

An even greater sense of pride for 麻豆直播, said Stuller, is that a great deal of the garden and eco system work done at 麻豆直播’s campuses is done by volunteer students and employees in conjunction with 麻豆直播’s facilities staff and thanks to the financial support of community partners including , , , , and the .
