The mission of the Garden City Bird Sanctuary is to manage protected greenspace for environmental stewardship and community services programs. The sanctuary was converted from a weed and trash covered sump during 1995 by thousands of volunteers. The nine acres has received the Outstanding Ecological Program Award and the Merit Award for the Outstanding Volunteer Community.
