Alpena council adopts 'Bird City' resolution to support habitat and public programs
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution 2026-03 to designate the City of Alpena as a Bird City after a presentation by members of the Thunder Bay Ottabon Society; volunteers and local organizations pledged support for outreach and events.
Representatives of the Thunder Bay Ottabon Society, identified as Karen and Judy, asked the council to adopt a resolution making Alpena a Bird City and described the organizing group’s work to assemble community partners, documentation and program ideas.
The presenters said they had invited broad community representation, reported strong volunteer interest and noted a modest annual membership cost to the Bird City program; they also flagged upcoming public events such as World Migratory Bird Day on May 9. Council members expressed support and the council approved Resolution 2026-03 to submit Alpena’s Bird City application and to participate in related community programming.
Next steps: the Ottabon Society and partners will proceed with public outreach and volunteer coordination, and the city will provide the council with updates as activities are scheduled.
