Western Tanager.

Across the country, the places birds depend on are disappearing. Development has replaced native landscapes with sterile lawns and non-native plants. Glass buildings, pesticides, and habitat loss put birds at risk every day. Too many of the spaces birds once relied on for food, shelter, and safe passage simply aren’t there anymore.

Through habitat restoration, native plant education, and community engagement, we’re helping transform neighborhoods into places where birds can flourish—and where people benefit from healthier, more vibrant natural spaces close to home. 

But RJ, this work takes more than any single program or season. Protecting birds requires sustained action across science, advocacy, education, and on-the—ground conservation—and it depends on the steafast support of people like you.

Your recent gift is already making an impact. And when you deepen your support with an annual donation today, you’ll provide reliable, year-round support to protect birds and the places they need, while also helping expand bird-friendly communities where people can connect with nature close to home. Act now and we’ll send you a beautiful “Plants for Birds” yard sign celebrating the importance of native plants and bird-friendly spaces, helping you spread the word in your own community and inspire others to take action for birds.

For 120 years, our rigorous science has identified which birds are threatened, which habitats are most in need of protection, and which birds will most benefit from our efforts. Those findings guide our work on their behalf: restoring and protecting habitats, leading nationwide community science efforts, and advocating for bird-friendly policies.

Using our proven combination of committed advocacy, empowering education, and expert on-the-ground conservation—all guided by science and grounded in our shared love for birds—we’ve been able to give species a better chance at survival.

We’re dedicated to protecting birds and their habitats, today and tomorrow—and we’re relying on the steadfast support of bird lovers like you to make it all possible.

Please deepen your impact with an annual gift now while you can still receive a “Plants for Birds” yard sign as our thanks. When you give annually, you’ll also automatically receive quarterly editions of our award-winning, awe-inspiring Audubonmagazine for years to come!

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society Donate
