Welcoming birds to your yard doesn’t just help wildlife—it’s good for you, too. 1 in 3 Americans already enjoys birdwatching, and their presence can boost your mental health. Sadly, North American bird populations have rapidly declined over the last 50 years. The good news: your yard can be part of the solution.

Join National Wildlife Federation Naturalist David Mizejewski to discover how to turn your outdoor space into a bird haven. As we head into prime fall planting season, David will share why now is the perfect time to plant native berry-producing shrubs and nut-producing trees. You'll learn how to feed the next generation of birds with caterpillar-host plants, why you should leave your winter seed heads intact, and how late-bloomers like goldenrod and aster support a healthy ecosystem.

Plus, learn how to get your space officially recognized as a "Certified Wildlife Habitat!"
