2/3 for the Birds

North America has lost three billion birds since the 1970s. These are not just rare or endangered birds, but also familiar backyard birds like Catbirds, Dark-eyed Juncos, and Chickadees too. The two main causes of this devastating decline? Habitat loss and pesticide use.

But don’t despair! We have the power to be part of the solution. Make 2/3 for the birds your new mantra. Grow at least 70% native plants in your yard. You’ll provide enough habitat to support a healthy population of birds, bees, and butterflies. Be toxic-free and say no to all pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
