University of Michigan-Dearborn

Michigan Audubon recently named UM-Dearborn its first-ever Bird City Michigan Campus. The designation recognizes campuses that actively support bird conservation through habitat protection, sustainability practices, education and community engagement. For UM-Dearborn's Environmental Interpretive Center, the recognition reflects years of work focused on understanding and protecting our campus’s unique ecosystem.

Thank you to Michigan Audubon, Ford Motor Company and our UM-Dearborn community for gathering today to celebrate this accomplishment!
