Hi, my name is Christina Sharma.  I am the Founder and Director of Project CHIRP!   I use the design and composition of my property as a teaching tool for songbird conservation. I show others how their property can help meet the survival needs of both local and migratory songbirds.  

I have been a volunteer educator with the Canadian Wildlife Federation since 2001. In 2002, I received the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal for public education on how residential properties can support wildlife conservation. In 2007, I founded Project CHIRP! (Creating Habitat In Residential areas and Parkland).
In 2009, I was nominated for the 1st Annual Urban Hero Award from Toronto Community News, Etobicoke.
