Cultivate native plants in your backyard and garden to offer beneficial habitat to the native wildlife that evolved with these plants. Audubon At Home can introduce you to resources with information on native plants in your region, and suggestions for getting rid of invasive exotics.

How will this help?

As part of the natural ecosystem where you live, native plants offer birds, butterflies, and other wildlife an irresistible invitation to visit your backyard. Native plants provide food, nesting areas, and shelter for resident and migrant birds. Exotic invasive plants, on the other hand, can crowd out natives -without providing the same welcome to wildlife visitors.
