Healthy Yard campaign

Want to attract birds, butterflies and bats to your yard? Peruse the new poster provided by National Audubon Society and National Resources Conservation Service. It provides nine ideas for creating enticing spaces in yards.

The educational campaign includes a Healthy Yard Pledge:

I pledge to the best of my ability to:
Reduce pesticide use
Conserve water
Protect water quality
Remove invasive exotic plants
Plant native species
Support birds and other wildlife on my property

The Audubon At Home program also provides information for those of us who live in apartments or want to create a healthy schoolyard. Please consider working with a local school so that children catch the birding bug!
