Visit Bird City Voting | Green Middletown to pick your favorite from the list of nominated bird species. The poll closes on May 13th, 2024. Don't forget - every vote counts! Make sure to get your friends, family, and neighbors to participate too!

We'll unveil the community's chosen bird at the new Middletown Library at our Green Talk about World Migratory Bird Day on May 18th, 2024 at 1:00PM.

Correction Regarding Middletown's Tree Giveaway

The Town of Middletown held a registration for a free tree giveaway last month which resulted in residents who pre-ordered to receive a total of 51 trees which those residents will pick up on Saturday, April 20th. The free trees are only for those residents who pre-ordered them. Middletown is grateful for the opportunity to partner with FirstEnergy’s tree planting and giveaway program for help with funding, and their volunteers who will help plant trees at our Arbor Day event next Friday, April 26th.
