Spring Conservation Challenge

Denver Audubon's Community Conservation Effort

Did you know that backyards play a CRITICAL role in providing habitat for our local birds and wildlife? Our backyards and shared greenspaces are particularly important in urban areas for they are pieces of a larger ecosystem that supports an astonishing number of species. How we manage these areas and which plants we put in the ground can truly make a difference!

That’s why we are challenging everyone, whether you have a backyard, a balcony, or a shared greenspace, to take 3 important actions this spring that will help make our urban spaces bird-friendly.  To complete the Spring Conservation Challenge, send us photo evidence that you have completed these 3 conservation actions: 

Plant Two

Native Plants

Native plants are plant species that occur naturally in an environment and play a crucial role in supporting local wildlife and pollinators who depend on them for food and shelter.
