Bird-Friendly Communities

Where birds thrive, people prosper.

From urban centers to rural towns, each community can provide important habitat for native birds. In turn, birds offer us a richer, more beautiful, and healthful place to live. Learn more about our Bird-Friendly Communties.

This regional initiative is part of the National Audubon Society's Bird-Friendly Communities strategy.
