Our North American songbirds are disappearing at an alarming rate - almost 3 billion birds in the last 50 years. Much of this decline is due to habitat loss. At Audubon, we feel a sense of urgency to do what we can to turn this around so we're hosting a first-ever workshop about why and how to replace habitat right in your own yard. Be sure to take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn from native-gardening-for-wildlife experts because Your Yard Matters!
