Sharon Audubon Center: Homeowner Series: Backyards that Support Birds

Join us in this exciting new three-part series where we explore how homeowners can manage their land for the betterment of birds. We’ll be diving into backyards, fields, and forests and discussing management opportunities for each of these unique ecosystems. If you own land and have one or more of them on your property, you won’t want to miss this! Each program will be hosted at a private residence in the Sharon area, so please look carefully at the address for each.

Our backyard environments present a growing opportunity for bird habitat as much of their natural habitat is fragmented or altered in some way. Whether we’re striving to eliminate lawn grass, install native plant gardens, or swap non-native trees (think Norway Maple) for native ones, there are numerous opportunities we can seize, big and small, that can have a positive impact on our native wildlife and begin to restore our local biodiversity.  Join Sharon Audubon Center Senior Coordinator of Conservation and Volunteer Programs, Bethany Sheffer, along with Beverly Sullivan, in a deep dive into how we can leverage our backyards for the betterment of birds.
