We set up shop at the Milford Wildflower Festival on May 24 to gather signatures for our Letter to Hold Market Basket Accountable for Destroying Nesting Birds.
Not wanting baby birds to be run over is a bipartisan issue, and support for the blackbirds was overwhelming. Almost everyone agreed with the campaign, and we gathered more than 150 signatures in addition to those collected online.
Choose Coexistence
While the blackbirds were our focus, we also promoted our other wildlife protection programs at the festival:
- Free No Hunting Signs
- Grants for Living with Beavers
- The Turtle Brigade
- Let Go and Let Nature Be
Did someone say paper mache?
In promoting our wildlife programs, we had help from some whimsical paper mache animals made of “found objects” (i.e., trash), including a red-wing blackbird named Harrison.
Thank you!
Thank you to the Wildflower Festival organizers for inviting us, and to everyone who stopped by to sign our letter!
