By demonstrating its commitment to creating healthy bird habitats and advancing local conservation efforts, Meridian Township has officially been designated a Bird City Michigan community, joining 11 other communities across the state recognized for their bird-friendly practices.

Launched by Michigan Audubon in 2025, with founding partner Ford Motor Company, Bird City Michigan is a science-based program that recognizes communities for taking meaningful action to protect birds and their habitats.
