Maryland Bird Campus
Our entire College Park campus was designated as a High Flyer Bird Campus in 2024 by the Bird Conservation Network and Bird City Maryland.
The Bird City Maryland program was started in 2019 as a way to encourage communities in Maryland to
enhance the environment for birds and educate the public about the contributions birds make to a
healthy community and is an initiative of the Maryland Bird Conservation Partnership.
