Help us Reach a Million this Fall
This fall, migrating pollinators and other wildlife may travel through your backyard on their way to their winter home. How can you help these travelers along the way? Here are a few tips:
Hummingbirds:
Hummingbirds, like the ruby-throated hummingbird, can travel up to 2,000 miles south to Central America. Place a hummingbird feeder in your habitat as a refueling stop for these travelers.
Butterflies:
Across the country, monarch butterflies are heading south toward Mexico and southern California, flying up to 3,000 miles. Plant native milkweed and late blooming nectar plants such as goldenrod and asters to draw in these colorful travelers.
Migratory songbirds:
Plant trees and shrubs to provide songbirds, like warblers, with a place to roost and to refuel on berries or insects during their travels.
We have almost reached a million pollinator gardens. By certifying your garden you will be counted toward the Million Pollinator Garden Challenge. Certify today to be counted and you’ll also be entered to win a squirrel buster bird feeder!
By providing food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young you are eligible to have your yard recognized as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. When you certify, you’ll join over 220,000 gardeners across America who provide safe places for pollinators and other wildlife to thrive.
