Last week, we went to Long Grove Country School to teach 60+ children the importance of birds and conservation! We are so glad that everyone had fun throughout our exciting games, trivia, and scavenger hunt—all while fostering a deeper understanding of bird conservation.

Many of our followers, supporters, and partners have reached out to us asking how they can help make an impact in our community. Sanctuary for the Skies is working with the Chicago Audubon Society and other conservation groups to help reduce the number of bird deaths in our city. By visiting our website (sanctuaryfortheskies.org) and signing the petition, YOU can make a difference. Here is the statement from National Audubon Society:

“The tragic death of nearly a thousand birds at the McCormick Lakeside facility on October 5 is a strong wakeup call about the potential for mass casualties if lights are not extinguished. McCormick Place has been told many times that simply requiring their exhibitors to draw curtains or turn off lights at the end of the day would prevent 80% of bird deaths. This they refuse to do.”

Check out these pictures from bird enthusiast and Sanctuary’s youth photographer .para! He managed to get some great shots of the red-winged blackbird and American crow. 📸

Make sure to visit our website if you are interested in joining our efforts or to share some pictures of birds in your community!

Our team recently had the opportunity to build another sanctuary in our community; this time at Sunrise Senior Living! It was amazing to create such a beautiful sanctuary alongside the many volunteers that showed up, while interacting with some of Sunrise’s senior residents. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and contributed to the sanctuary! Be on the lookout for more sanctuaries, community events, and volunteer opportunities soon!
