Detroit Bird City Program

Detroit Bird City (DBC) restores unused land into native flower meadows, creating habitat for birds and pollinators and providing greenspace respites for community members, while requiring less time and maintenance from the city. Detroit Bird Alliance partners with the Detroit Parks and Recreation Department and General Services Department and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to transform underutilized city parks and their neighboring vacant lots into Detroit Bird City parks.
