Saving Our Songbirds Together: 3 Ways to Help at Home

In North America, nearly 30% of birds have vanished in the past 50 years, and songbirds are among the hardest hit. The good news is that we can all help by take several simple steps at home.

This workshop will cover how adding bird-friendly plants, reducing threat of window collisions, and buying bird-friendly coffee can directly reduce threats to birds. As part of their registration, participants will get:

  • meaningful information about three of the most significant ways you can positively affect birds at home, with examples and links to resources,
  • one native plant to take home, as well as information about our native plant sale/fundraiser through Johnson’s Nursery (plants will be delivered to Madison in May),
  • a box of Feather Friendly window dots, good for trying out a window treatment at home right away,
  • a sample pack of Birds & Beans bird-friendly coffee,
  • and more!
