Bird-Friendly Landscapes

Birds can be an indicator of the health and biodiversity of the landscapes around us. Our landscape design and management practices can make a big difference in whether birds decide to ignore or explore our built environments. Join landscape architect and artist Preston Montague for a 3-session online presentation series designed to provide you with tools to increase resources available to birds in landscapes under your care. These presentations have been developed in collaboration with New Hope Audubon.
Presentations will be on consecutive Thursdays from 6-7:30 p.m. Dates & topics are as follows.
Nov. 3: Considerations for Developing Bird-Friendly Habitat - This introduction to building bird habitat in your landscape will include an overview of considerations, tips and tactics for bird-friendly landscapes as defined by New Hope Audubon and the National Audubon Society.
