Yachats is the first Pacific Coast city to earn the Bird City designation in Oregon.
The designation follows local efforts by the Seven Capes Bird Alliance and Oregon State Parks to reduce risks to birds.
The city plans to switch streetlights to dark sky standards to aid bird migration.
Other projects include window treatments and capping open pipes to prevent bird strikes and entrapment.
The initiative aims to spur ongoing energy and action within the community beyond the designation.
Oregon State Parks collaborate with the group to cover 150 open pipes at coastal facilities.
A ceremony officially designates Yachats as a Bird City, followed by a year-long speaker series.
The effort builds on Yachats’ 2022 adoption of dark-sky standards restricting outdoor lighting.
The Bird City status is part of a broader regional journalism collaboration and public-media partnerships.
The designation supports wildlife conservation awareness and community engagement around local refuges.
