WELLSBORO, Pa. - nvtip -- The town of Wellsboro, Pennsylvania has been named a Bird Town by The Pennsylvania Division of the National Audubon Society, a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the conservation of birds and their habitats. Minutes from the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, Wellsboro invites nature enthusiasts to visit and observe the diverse birds of the region, which include bald eagles, Cooper's hawks, sharp-shinned hawks, great blue herons, yellow warblers, and more.

The working partnership between Wellsboro and the National Audubon Society promotes conservation and community-based actions to create a sustainable environment for both birds and people. To be designated a Bird Town, Wellsboro met eleven of fifteen criteria, which included establishing an environmental advisory board, maintaining a park system with a natural habitat for birds, and implementing environmental education programs.
