Native Plants for Birds
Native plants provide food and shelter for birds. They create a sanctuary for nesting and overwintering birds, as well as a place for migrating birds to recharge during their long journeys.
Vashon Audubon is promoting the use of native plants to create an environment that’s good for birds and people.
