Habitat Hero

The purpose of Laramie Audubon's Habitat Hero Program is to 1) develop safe habitat spaces that entice birds (and pollinators), 2) reduce water, chemical fertilizer, and pesticide use, and 3) provide places where people can connect to nature. From simple yard maintenance best-practices to avoiding window strikes, the Habitat Hero program aims to provide resources for making your yard, apartment, or rural property safer and more attractive to birds! To accomplish this, Laramie Audubon provides digital and hard-copy information, holds regular educational meetings, conducts summer garden tours, presents information at community events, and supports public demonstration gardens. Seasonal Habitat Hero events can be found on the Events tab of this website.
