[Communications] {AUA} Bird Flu PPE Support Requests due by Fri. 2/28

[Viviana Okakpu]

Hello,
In light of the on-going necessity of precautions to prevent the spread
of Bird Flu, AUA has set up a fund to support costs associated with
purchasing personal protective equipment (PPE) and equipping your coop or
other outdoor farm animal enclosures to prevent wild bird access. Up to
$100 of support
is available for growers, farmed animal keepers, and members of organized
wild bird stewardship organizations in the following counties: Cook, Lake,
McHenry, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Grundy, Will, and Kankakee. Funds are
available through Friday, 2/28/25 or until funds are exhausted. If you are
interested and eligible, please fill out and submit this form
<https://forms.gle/iZ2mcNmbbtCw6YjU8>. For recommendations on PPE to use,
please check out our webpage

Please feel free to share this offering with eligible members of your
network.

Thank you and take care,
