April: Create a Thriving Habitat for Birds with Native Plants
Native plants and insects have coexisted for enons, forming the foundation of our ecosystem. Countless types of insects use specific native plants to provide food for their offspring (think caterpillars). When these native plants are replaced with ones (such as turf grass), insect populations crash, as do the bird populations that count on insects as food for their nestlings.
A Plant is native if it has occured naturally in a particular region, ecosystem, or habitat without human introduction. Native plants provide shelter and nesting areas for birds, as well as natural sources for nectar, seeds, berries, and insects.
Native Plant Facts:
- Native plants typically grow healthier and stronger than non-native species
- Native plants are low maintenance, requiring less watering, fertilizer, and pesticides
- Native plants assist in managing rainwater runoff and maintain healthy soil as their root systems are deep and keep soil from being compacted
For you, native plants add a wealth of beauty, texture, varying heights, and bloom times, providing a stunning display over multiple seasons. For birds, native trees and plants are home to caterpillars and other insects, which provide food for nestlings.
