Help Birds in Winter

Winter is a long-awaited time, which is filled with interesting entertainment and fun. However, during this period our feathered friends need our help the most. Some of birds fly away to warm countries. Our help is very important to those birds, which stay for wintering in our cities, towns, and villages. Traditionally for several years in a row, the employees of the Carpathian National Nature Park have been holding an ecological campaign "Help Birds in Winter".

The beauty of nature would be incomplete without birds. They are our true friends. Birds are also defenders of agriculture and forestry. Their cheerful songs, bright colors of their feather revives nature and provide us with cheerfulness and joy.
