Bird Friendly Communities
Gardens are outdoor sanctuaries for birds, insects, and other wildlife. Native plants are best at providing what they need.
UrbanScapes Native Plant Nursery is a collaboration between Menunkatuck and New Haven’sCommunity Placemaking Engagement Network. We work with locan teens growing native plants.
Native shrubs and perennials can be bought from the UrbanScapes Native Plant Nursery. Plants are listed here.
Glass and lights present major hazards to birds, killing hundreds of millions of birds each year. You can make your home Bird Safe.
Every spring and fall, millions of birds fly over the city of New Haven during their seasonal migration to and from their summer nesting grounds. Artificial light can confuse them and cause them to crash into buildings. Lights Out! Connecticut is working to change that.
Many species of birds can be given a better chance to survive and thrive through a little assistance from structures we build. Home for Birds can help.
