Help protect birds in your backyard and beyond

Brown Thrasher. KAREN, spring migration brings a flurry of new birds to our neighborhoods—and what they find when they get there makes all the difference. Over the past century, urbanization has taken, fragmented, and transformed ecologically productive land with sterile lawns and exotic ornamental plants. We’ve introduced walls of glass, toxic pesticides, and domestic predators. The human-dominated landscape no longer supports functioning ecosystems or provides healthy places for birds. But through habitat restoration, native plant education, and community engagement, we can help transform our communities into places where birds can thrive and people can prosper. Your steadfast support is critical to this work, so please start your annual gift today. When you do, we'll send you a "Plants for Birds" yard sign to help you spread the word in your own community and inspire others to take action for birds.  In the midst of a global biodiversity crisis, with 3 billion birds lost in the last 50 years, your involvement in bird conservation—including right in your own backyard—has never been more critical. Together, we’re pushing for the large-scale change needed to ease habitat loss and help reverse the climate crisis through our proven combination of research, advocacy, and hands-on conservation action: With 120 years of expertise under our wing, we’re giving species a better chance at survival by: Restoring and improving the resilience of important landscapes Successfully advocating for climate legislation at the state and federal level Transforming communities into places where birds flourish Fighting for the bold action birds need now … and more. But our best work on behalf of birds depends on the support of people like you. Start an annual gift now and claim your very own “Plants for Birds” yard sign as our thanks. As an annual donor, you’ll also automatically receive four editions of our award-winning, awe-inspiring Audubon magazine each year!

KAREN, your Native Plant Sign is waiting

Make your annual gift today and help protect the birds you love »

Your Native Plant sign is waiting. Make your annual gift today and help protect the birds you love » Western Tanager. Across the country, the places birds depend on are disappearing. Development has replaced native landscapes with sterile lawns and non-native plants. Glass buildings, pesticides, and habitat loss put birds at risk every day. Too many of the spaces birds once relied on for food, shelter, and safe passage simply aren't there anymore.  Through habitat restoration, native plant education, and community engagement, we’re helping transform neighborhoods into places where birds can flourish—and where people benefit from healthier, more vibrant natural spaces close to home.  But KAREN, this work takes more than any single program or season. Protecting birds requires sustained action across science, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation—and it depends on people like you. When you start your annual donation today, you’ll provide reliable, year-round support to protect birds and the places they need, while also helping expand bird-friendly communities where people can connect with nature close to home. And when you act now, we’ll send you a beautiful “Plants for Birds” yard sign celebrating the importance of native plants and bird-friendly spaces, helping you spread the word in your own community and inspire others to take action for birds. For 120 years, our rigorous science has identified which birds are threatened, which habitats are most in need of protection, and which birds will most benefit from our efforts. Those findings guide our work on their behalf: restoring and protecting habitats, leading nationwide community science efforts, and advocating for bird-friendly policies. Using our proven combination of committed advocacy, empowering education, and expert on-the-ground conservation—all guided by science and grounded in our shared love for birds—we’ve been able to give species a better chance at survival. We’re dedicated to protecting birds and their habitats, today and tomorrow—and we’re relying on the steadfast support of bird lovers like you to make it all possible. Please join us with an annual gift now while you can still receive a “Plants for Birds” yard sign as our thanks. When you give annually, you’ll also automatically receive quarterly editions of our award-winning, awe-inspiring Audubon magazine!
