Creating Bird-Friendly Communities is Audubon’s commitment to the sustainability of our urban, suburban, and rural places. We can each do our part by restoring and reconnecting these places in the Mid-Atlantic. We can provide essential, safe habitat for birds, choosing native plants and providing birdhouses, roosting towers, and nest platforms when we landscape our yards, neighborhood parks, and public spaces. With these simple acts, everyone can help make their community bird-friendly.
Our efforts in the Mid-Atlantic are part of Audubon's Bird-Friendly Communities initiative.
Audubon and our partners are working together to engage residents, businesses, schools, our local governments, and other organizations in learning more about the issue of collisions and the variety of ways we can prevent them.
Baltimore is a popular stopover for birds that migrate along the Atlantic Flyway, so it is vital that we reduce these man-made threats to birds. Audubon, residents, businesses, schools, local governments, and other organizations are working to prevent collisions.
