Public Health: Handwashing - To reduce Bird Flu infection risk.
Bird flu (avian influenza) is a contagious viral infection that primarily affects birds but can sometimes infect humans. Preventing the spread of this virus is crucial, especially handling dead or sick birds, working with poultry or in areas where bird flu outbreaks occur. Handwashing is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of transmission.

Healthy Environment: June marks National Pollinator Month🐝🦋🐛🐞, a time to celebrate and support the bees, butterflies, moths, and other pollinators that keep ecosystems and food systems thriving. Many of these species are in decline, and they need help. Let's support community-led projects such as:
🐝 Create a new pollinator garden or rain garden.
🦋 Expand or enhance an existing garden by adding native pollinator-friendly plants.
🐞 Convert a lawn, boulevard or hard surface to a pollinator garden. Reference via
