A healthy habitat provides a natural haven beneficial to birds, other creatures, and people, and is an extension of your home and part of a larger ecoregion. Backyards and other private lands provide essential habitat for many species of birds. Ensuring that birds have good sources of food, nesting sites, clear water, and protective cover becomes more important every day, as more habitat is lost to development, degradation, and fragmentation.

In this presentation, you will learn how to create healthy habitats that protect and attract birds in your backyard. Learn the essentials of being a responsible caretaker of your piece of the earth. You’ll also learn about Audubon New York’s efforts to promote this program.
