Gdynia invites birds – an anniversary event

For the 15th time already Gdynia is inviting birds to pay a visit! The participants of the contest entitled ‘Inviting birds to Gdynia' - both children and adults - are supposed to build the most outstanding bird feeder or a nest box.

During previous editions the organizers have managed to gather more than 3 400 works. The contest's Jury traditionally rewards constructors of the best ones, as well as schools which submit the biggest number of works. After the competition is finished, feeders and boxes are distributed among volunteers willing to hang them around kindergartens and schools, in parks and forests, as well as in their own allotments, and - of course - to take care of them afterwards. One box can be in use for 2 to 3 seasons, thus our contest is a truly never ending story.

The main goal of the event is to acquaint the residents with different bird species living in Gdynia and to include the youth in the activities aimed at the environmental protection.
