The Year of the Bird

The 2018 Birding Festival was a big success in La Conner!  The Town Council has approved Resolution 545 to Celebrate the Year of the Bird.  Please click here to view Resolution 545.  

The Town Council encourages residents and property owners, when making choices of landscaping plantings, to install plants that birds recognize as habitat or food sources.  A list of these plants can be found here.
