Keep Fort Worth Beautiful is hosting its 39th Annual Cowtown Great American Cleanup on Saturday, Mar. 23, 2024. This is the city's largest annual litter cleanup and beautification event of the year. In 2022, Cowtown Cleanup volunteers removed over 100,000 pounds of trash from our city!

If you would like to be involved with cleaning up Morris E. Berney Park, contact Luci DiGiorgio or Suzie Jary. Clean up begins at 8:30 am! Help beautify our neighborhood!
 

LIGHTS OUT

Every spring and fall, billions of birds migrate through the US, mostly under the cover of darkness. This mass movement of birds must contend with a dramatically increasing but still largely unrecognized threat: light pollution. Light pollution harms birds, but you can help!

Birds provide:

  • ecosystem services, 
  • act as benchmarks for environmental health, 
  • increase livability, 
  • and connect people of all ages and abilities to the natural world.

The solution:

Turn off or dim non-essential lighting during critical migration periods! Turning off lights dramatically reduces hazards from attraction to and disorientation by light, allowing birds to safely proceed with their migratory journeys. 

From March 1 to June 15, follow these suggestions:

  • Turn off non-essential lights from 11 PM until 6 AM during critical migration periods.
  • Turn off or dim lobby and atrium lights.
  • Turn off or dim interior home lighting, or draw blinds to prevent light escaping.
  • Turn off decorative landscape lighting.
  • Turn off lights before leaving the home or office.
  • Be sure outside lights are aimed down and well shielded.
  • Install motion sensors on outside lights to minimize use.
  • Prevent daylight collisions with bird friendly products for windows
 

A Look Ahead
