Audubon North Carolina’s Bird-Friendly Native Plants of the Year program is working to create more availability of native plants that specifically benefit birds, but also our environment and our local economy. We’re partnering with local plant nurseries and growers to offer more bird-friendly native plants to add to your garden to help our birds with food and shelter as their natural habitats continue to disappear.

Bird-Friendly Native Plants of the Year is all about LOCAL! Local plants, local businesses and local gardens. By supporting local growers in North Carolina, you are helping to lay down roots to buy and plant more bird-friendly native plants.

By signing up to participate in this program, you're pledging to add more bird-friendly native plants to your yard and you’ll get the following benefits:

• Bird-Friendly Native Plants of the Year Updates
• Listing of local retailers with Bird-Friendly Plants .
• Invites to educational events at local nurseries
