Wondering what to do with the sunflower seeds in your CUBs kit?

Plant them! If you plant them you can grow lots more food for birds. The sunflowers pictured here grew underneath a bird feeder without any encouragement.

Celebrate Urban Birds strives to co-create bilingual, inclusive, and equity-based community science projects that serve communities that have been historically underrepresented or excluded from birding, conservation, and citizen science. The project seeks to promote better science through equitable knowledge sharing, increased access, centering missing voices and experiences, and intentionally advocating for community ownership and scientific research leadership. Together with participating communities, the project has co-developed processes to co-design, pilot, and implement scientific research and programming while focusing on race and equity.
