I hold a deep concern for the wellbeing of our local community — both avian and human. I believe that the health of our environment is inextricably linked to the health of our families and neighbors.

To support this vision, 20% of the proceeds from this project are donated to two organizations doing vital work in Northwest Pennsylvania:

• The Family Children and Community Association (FCCA) of Meadville, PA: Supporting local families and strengthening the fabric of our human community.

• The Erie Bird Observatory: Advancing regional bird conservation and protecting the "avian citizens" of Pennsylvania.

By bringing a piece of this regional beauty into your home, you are directly contributing to the preservation of our local wildlife and the support of our local families.
