Resource Packet |
|
| Dear Sea and Sage
members, supporters and friends, |
| |
| This packet contains
materials and information designed to assist you in your efforts
to protect birds within urban habitats, parks and open spaces.
Included are form letters, resource guides, protection and regulation
information, and contact lists and bird information. Most of
the contents are provided to help you pro-actively educate land
owners and land managers about the real threats to breeding
birds that occur when habitats, especially those in urbanized
areas, are not maintained properly. |
| |
| Additionally, the
packet contains some limited information on laws and regulations
that are designed to protect all native North American birds,
their nests, and their eggs. Hopefully, you can utilize this
information in the same pro-active and positive manner. |
| |
| Unfortunately, you
may find the need to access these resources for a situation
that is reactive in nature, such as an incident like untimely
tree trimming or other habitat destruction during the breeding
season. You should note that the information provided is necessarily
incomplete and may not accurately apply to all situations. For
example, the packet is not designed to address individual homeowner
situations except for education about nesting birds and landscape
maintenance. Likewise, the packet is not designed to address
large scale habitat destruction or legal battles over nest destruction.
For serious offences, it is best to get photos, gather facts,
and contact one of the wildlife agencies listed in this packet |
| |
| Our goal is to educate
the public, land owners and managers about nesting birds and
the need to live with wildlife in urban settings, to make these
places sanctuaries where possible. Please hand out or deliver
as many of the information flyers and letters as you can. This
information will be updated periodically. |
| |
| Thank you for your
help. |
