Our best efforts depend on people like you, KAREN

Claim your beautiful sign about the importance of native plants with an annual gift today.

Western Bluebird. Where birds thrive, people prosper. But 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.  Through habitat restoration, native plant education, and community engagement, we can create a safer future for birds and people alike. Our best efforts depend on people like you, KAREN. Please start an annual gift to help protect birds and the habitats they need. Your yearly support will fund vital science, education, advocacy, and conservation. As our thanks, we'll send you a beautiful sign about the importance of native plants. Guided by science and informed by 120 years of experience, we identify which birds and habitats are most in need of protection and which will most benefit from our efforts—findings that drive effective action across our unrivaled network. With the support of bird lovers like you, we’re 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, and securing the space and clean air and water that birds and people need to live and thrive. And it’s working: Our comprehensive program of research, advocacy, education, and hands-on conservation is a powerful force in preventing future extinctions and helping declining populations recover. It comes down to this: Where we work—and when you help—birds are better off. But with so much at stake, we can and must do more while there’s still time. 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 receive our award-winning, awe-inspiring Audubon Magazine each quarter!
