The Importance of Native Plants to Bird Diversity

Claudia Thompson, Founder of Grow Native Massachusetts and Landscape Ecologist

With many native bird populations in steep decline, how we create and manage our landscapes to support bird diversity is more important than ever. Come learn what you can do in your own garden or landscape to create essential habitat that supports life for a wide variety of landbird species— from songbirds to owls, woodpeckers, and more. Native plants are one of the essential ingredients, and this program will also highlight some of the valuable native species that you will be able to procure at our upcoming Native Plant Sale on June 1.
