Plant a Tree, Save the Song Birds
Birds and trees go hand in hand. Trees aren’t just part of the landscape, they’re lifelines for birds. They provide shelter in every season, safe nesting sites in spring and an endless buffet of insects that nourish adults and their hungry offspring. Simply put: more trees = more birds.
Habitat loss is the biggest factor for the decline in bird populations. That's why Wild Birds Unlimited has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to restore critical forest habitats across the US and Canada. Together, we’re planting thousands of native trees that will benefit not only today’s birds, but generations to come.
You can be part of the solution right in your own backyard. Planting a single native tree creates food, cover and nesting opportunities for local birds, while also making your environment healthier and more vibrant. Join our mission to #SaveTheSongBirds and help nature thrive, one tree at a time. Learn more at www.wbu.com/plant-trees.
