Celebrate World Migratory Bird Day on Saturday, October 11

World Migratory Bird Day is October 11

As birds make their way south for the winter, Sustainable State College and Bird Town Pennsylvania invite you to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day on Saturday, October 11, by dimming your lights at night to protect them on their routes. 

Migratory birds and their habitats are declining in Pennsylvania. To raise public awareness about human-caused bird mortalities, join the Borough in in the "Lights Out State College" community event. Sign the pledge here to reduce artificial and unnecessary lighting from 8:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. on World Migratory Bird Day!
