Ephraim, Baileys Harbor Named Bird Cities

Two Door County municipalities have been approved as Bird Cities as part of the Bird City Wisconsin project. Ephraim and Baileys Harbor earned the new recognition, joining 37 other communities on the list.

Each community will be presented with a special Bird City Wisconsin flag, plaque and street signs at ceremonies to honor their conservation achievements.

Communities are judged on 22 criteria across five categories: habitat creation and protection; community forest management; limiting hazards; public education; and recognizing International Migratory Bird Day. If a community meets at least seven criteria, it becomes an official “Bird City.”
