February 12, 2023 (San Diego) -- North America’s songbird population has declined dramatically in the last 50 years, and the most significant cause of the decline is loss of habitat. In a lecture on Thursday, March 2 at 6 p.m. at Mission Trails Regional Park’s visitor center, Kay Charter of the nonprofit Saving Birds Thru Habitat will offer tips on creating habitat in your own yard to help songbirds thrive.
Each attendee will receive a free educational packet containing the book What the Robin Knows: How Birds Reveal the Secrets of the Natural World by naturalist and author Jon Young, a list of songbird-friendly plants native to the San Diego region, and additional resources to help grow the songbird population.
Admission is free, but registration is required.
